What is it with all these f'ing sh**tballs that don't know their basic physics.  Take a cup, fill it 1/2 with water, put 5 ice cubes in it, measure the water level, wait for the ice cubes to melt, and look where the water level is.

What happened?

Thats right folks, it DROPPED.  Yes, yes, yes, the myth is true, ice is less dense than water...

No it doesn't, it ends up equal to when the ice was first put in there.
Um, NO.

While I don't believe in global warming to the extent of the doomsday ranters, I am going to have to correct you here - the ice caps aren't just floating pieces of ice, they are actually on landmass.
Because of the VAST continent that covers the North Pole.  Right.

Much of the ice is in the water and over water.  The North Pole area is covered in ice and covers the North Sea for many thousands of square miles.
