That is brilliant...as long as you don't take into account all the ice that is NOT sitting in the ocean (your glass), but on top of land (i.e. the continent of Antarctica).

Didn't Rush Limbau have his ass verbally handed to him when he used the ice/glass analogy a while back?

And please, don't try to tell me that we don't have to worry about Antarctica because it is "downhill" from North America.
