Highlights
-
• Global warming and polar ice-melt not contribute to sea level rise.
-
• Melting of huge volume of floating sea-ice around polar region cool ocean-water preventing thermal expansion.
-
• Polar ice melting re-occupy same volume of the displaced water causing no sea level rise.
-
• Gravitational attraction of the earth plays a dominant role against sea level rise.
-
• Melting of land ice in the polar region allow crust to rebound elastically for isostatic balancing through uplift should cause sea level to drop relatively.
