Research Paper

Why would sea-level rise for global warming and polar ice-melt?


https://www.sciencedirect.com/scienc...74987118300446
This author claims that any new liquid water that melts from the ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica will "just stay at the poles" because "water can't flow to the equator because it is uphill and toward weaker gravity". Which is nonsense. The 21km higher land and water that is there at the equator has achieved this state now and any new liquid water will distribute across the surface in the same manner. It is true that local sea level will appear static at Greenland and Antarctica since that land will rise with a reduced ice mass pressing it down. But the rest of the world will see an average of all of the new liquid water minus some slight deepening of the ocean floor.
