If an ice cube melting in a glass of water doesn't raise the water level, why would melting arctic ice raise the sea level?

because most of the ice in the antarctic is sitting on land
>dude what is a glacier
Also, thermal expansion of water

>thermal expansion
Yeah but if it gets hotter more water will evaporate, lowering sea level.
Ocean bulk will remain cold even if the surface heats up a bit anyway.

Specific heat of water is roughly 4kJ/kg/K.
Latent heat of vaporization of water is roughly 2000kJ/kg.

It isn't icebergs in the arctic, it's ice in places like Greenland which is on solid ground.

While warming does increase the amount of water vapor in atmosphere, the total amount is minimal compared to the water in oceans.

Then the flooding will come from the unsual amount of rain, and warming from the increased atmospheric thickness provided by water vapor?
