There are countless debates going on about sea level rising or falling when ice melts. I have yet to meet a convincing argument that ice melting will raise the sea level.

According to "brilliant" explanations out there, using WEIGHT, it is extremely faulty to attribute "weight displacement" in the rise and fall of sea level.

The accurate displacement is actually the CHANGE IN VOLUME. For everybody out there who uses "weight" in the explanation of change to sea level needs to retake first year physics. And I do mean that with all sincerity for any folks who truly want to engage in a scientific discussion in proper context.

So allow me to highlight a few questions from Yahoo! Answers to illustrate this debate:

However, the question I'm asking is vastly different from any grade-school chemistry class. I am not asking this question as I personally have experiments done already with my own conclusions, but this question is for the community to learn and to debate. But I am indeed stamping my foot down against any scientific attempts that tries to explain change in 'weight' or 'mass'. If any of you mention "change in mass," I'm sorry, you would lose all credibility to science.
