Faulty science (not to mention logic) there....
While it is true that 90 percent of an iceberg is below water, it is also true that
the percentage of what is
above and the percentage of what is below the surface of the water it floats on
matters not a whit...
Because ice displaces 100 percent of its volume in water. Try it with an icecube in a
glass of water...the
moment you add the icecube, the level of the water rises in the glass. When the
icecube melts, the water
level doesn't change; it doesn't matter if 90 percent of the icecube was below water,
or 80 percent or 70
percent...because 100 percent of the icecube displaced an equal amount of water.
But only a portion of the polar icecaps are comprised of free-floating icebergs; a
good portion of the ice is
on land, and it is when THAT ice melts, that one has to worry about rising sea levels.
Also, you don't take into consideration what the effect of changing vast amounts of
solid, frozen H2O into a
liquid, and ultimately gaseous, state would have upon the global weather system....
