I have done this from data that included all the ice on Antarctica, I am sure as "all the glaciers" would include the ice on Antarctica.Adrian Vance Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04697194847067151704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142988674703954802.post-3116273792551437412014-07-19T13:40:57.868-07:002014-07-19T13:40:57.868-07:00http://www.livescience.com/24168-glacier-volume-se...http://www.livescience.com/24168-glacier-volume-sea-level-rise.htmlMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714540297202434542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142988674703954802.post-19990983857049460922014-07-19T13:40:20.532-07:002014-07-19T13:40:20.532-07:00Adrian,

Every foot of depth is equal to 28,000 cubic miles of seawater.<br /><br />Arctic ocean ice floats and is accounted for like ice cubes in a glass of water. Melting it makes no difference in the sea level. According to The Journal of Geophysical Research, JGR, all the glaciers and Antarctica include 41,000 cubic miles of ice which melt forming 36,900 cubic miles of water. This would increase the water level on Earth 1.32 feet or 16 inches and not the 260 feet claimed by the USGS bureau. <br /><br />The published JGR analysis is never reported in mainstream media. People who want to scare you say the seas will rise 260 ft. They want new taxes, your money and more power by scaring you. It is just that simple.<br /><br />For science and political matters explained to you in language you can understand come to "Two Minute Conservative," via Google and when you speak they will listen.<br />Adrian Vance Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04697194847067151704noreply@blogger.com
