Inconvenient Facts regarding rising ocean level: 1. The ocean level is unchanged when floating ice melts.
2. The ocean is a spherical body of water. The ocean volume varies as the cube of the ocean radius. Therefore, for the ocean radius to increase 20 feet, the ocean volume must increase 8,000 times more than for a 1-foot radius increase. For the ocean radius to increase 40 feet, the ocean volume must increase 64,000 times more than for a 1-foot radius increase.
