Re: It's getting windier.
Not been keeping up with this thread, owing to being mostly asleep, apart from being kept awake by first the wind and then the baby woken up by the wind, but has anyone pointed out that working out sea level rises due to changes in ice/water density is fairly irrelevant as one of the ice caps is largely on land? The rise in sea level thus comes from land-borne ice melting and running into the sea, and I can't see how that won't result in an increased sea level, and even if the other cap melting doesn't result in an increased sea level it will result in less solar reflection and thus have a warming effect which increases the rate of melting at the other cap and thus increases the sea level more.
