On the off chance that there's a geologist here, is this possible?
Also lets only talk about the ocean and not cheeto in chief.

So literally nothing?

More apocalyptic scenarios being painted to scare people. So much extra water is added to the oceans that it is buckling the ocean floor? The average ocean depth is 12,100 feet. How many feet of extra water was added to the oceans before the earth's crust literally cracks under the weight? I guess all coastal cities better evacuate, they must already be hundreds of feet underwater from this massive flood.

W-what?
It's impossible. Put an ice cube in a glass. Measure the mass, weight, and pressure of the contents of the cup. Melt the ice cube, measure the mass, weight, and pressure of the contents and it should be the same. Unless the mass of the greenhouse gasses is causing the ocean floor to sink
Jack Young
The pseudoscience they're trying to apply here is that the water moves from one place to the other due to melting, and therefor, somehow, due to some magic science numbers, the ocean's floor will collapse and we'll all fall through towards the center of the earth. Or something.
Xavier King
Fuck me global warming is going to kill us all. It'll make everything horribly hot and horribly cold. It'll make everything horribly wet but also a desert. It'll cause rising sea levels but also sinking sea levels.
We're fucked aren't we?
Grayson Moore
you dont fucking remove waterweight when you freeze it.. how can people believe this shit
Levi Collins
Not all the ice is sea ice tho
Levi Roberts
Not all ice is sea ice, but all large bodies of ice are on the surface of earth, if it melts, it still stays in the surface if the Earth, just in the oceans
Kevin Nelson
Now now, user, just give us your money and remember to vote green next time and we'll save you, everything will be alright.
Dominic Baker
I read the journal they referenced
The research team is stating the differential of weight as the poles will be released when surface ice melts, spreading weight from the poles across the entire ocean
Less compression will allow the Earth to maintain a more circular shape by a few millimeters
So basically the research says sea rise will increase by abouy 4-10 millimeters higher than originally thought lol
>How fucking horrifying oh no
Josiah Nelson
I'm no geologist, so I could be wrong here, but it doesn't sound plausible to me. I'm sure the pressure from the inside of the earth would be much greater than the added weight of the water.
Kevin Murphy
What the fuck, I want to install one world socialist government now.

We are destroying this planet and anything that convinces people to follow the right policies is good.
Lying to someone is bad only if it brings them harm.

There's an equilibrium
I'm not sure what that sensationalist news article is trying to claim about how good/bad it is thought
William Miller
Doesn't that also mean that there would be 4-10 millimeters less sea level rise in extreme northern and southern latitudes?

>convincing people to spend billions on "fixing" shit that isn't actually a problem helps fix the real problems
Nnnnno. Also, did you hear the one about the boy who cried wolf?

Lol I love leftists. They're the joke that never stops being funny.
Cameron Rivera
This is horrifying. If we don't stop this, the weight of all this water will literally crack the planet in half, and become a dual planet system, but of course, almost all life will be gone. Why won't those who don't believe in global warming start believing, so we can do something about it?
Joseph Robinson
Won't that prevent the sea level from rising, since now the ocean fits more water?
Alexander Mitchell
yes, there is slightly increased subsidence due to increased water weight in the oceans as a result of (continental) glaciers slowly melting into the oceans.
no, it's not some immediate crisis. global warming is still a major threat, but the underestimation of sea level rise due to melting and thermal expansion isn't going to make things suddenly worse.
pls remember to keep /pol/ in /pol/.

Pressure = density x g (9.81m/s^2) x height. The pressure increases with height.
Alexander Wright
Yes, and it's as bad as it sounds.
