This simple analogy is often used in my comments section as a way to discredit climate science. Today we’re debunking it.
*Small correction, I say ice is less dense being it has bubbles but this is of course an oversimplification (it’s a Youtube short after all). In reality water’s crystal structure also makes ice inherently less dense than liquid water. These two qualities together are what allow it to float.

The fact that people make serious arguments based on forgetting that there is ice on land is deeply depressing
Global warming has been happening since earth was born back and forth
How much of that water would actually end up in Earth's oceans?
I’m pretty sure we’re not going to drown form ice melting. Y’all just need to go live by the beach for 20 years and watch the sea level not change one inch. It’s so stupid this shit people believe. We were also supposed to run out of oil in the 90s… and early 2000s. And 2020. Oh and can’t forget y2k. None of which happened. But all of you believed it
Meh, Ice ages, Ice melts, it evens out.
Ice does NOT float because of trapped air bubbles. It is less dense because of the crystalline structure that forces the molecules into a larger volume.
Can you provide per reviewed papers that confirm sea level rises have happened over the past century or so and will continue? Can you also confirm there are no papers that challenge this? Thanks
There are glaciers in the Rocky Mountains that have not disappeared of even shown signs of getting any smaller. I suppose that is climate change
Ice doesn't have a lower density than liquid water due to bubbles. It's because the water molecules in the ice sit in a very inefficient crystal structure.
So the moral of the story is, don’t be a snarky ass like Hedgepeth, because snark gets ya nowhere!
Wheres the proof humans caused that ice to melt? Oh wait there is none
If the face of your movement is John Kerry, Al Gore and Greta Thunberg – all world class over exaggerators…. well?
This generation of climate activist will use several times more energy than all the generations in world history before them combined. Some believe there is an actual cloud where all their instagram, snap chat, chat gpt and crypto currency in stored but it's actually warehouses full of servers that use incredible amounts of power.
How about you do a video on claims that old Roman ports are far above ocean levels today in England. It makes me think maybe land shifted.
But you make a good point about ice vs ice cubes. But maybe you could explain why we had a mini ice age 400 and 1000 years ago I believe. There was havoc and death or less food production. I saw a chart with Chinese dynasties falling with bad food production and it happened several times because of climate change in the past.
That is not because of air bubbles in the ice. That is part of it, but is mainly due to the geometry of the water molecule
What hold no water, is the entire climate change response. It’s not about saving the world, it’s about power and control. Explain how a carbon tax affects climate. What they really want is to make you poor, old and hungry, and once you have been weakened, they will swoop in as the hero’s, you will own nothing and be happy, or dead, more than likely the latter.
I think the earth naturally think about it evidence all through history of drastic changes in climates even long before we had factories and huge farms and all that
Ice does not sit on the surface of a body of water due to air bubbles. Ice is less dense that liquid water because of hydrogen bonding.
So technically excellent source of freshwater that could be transported to an arid region, thus increasing overall water vapor the greatest retainer of heat?
You sound like a conspiracy theorist, tbh…
lol nice pun at the end
Climate change is BS. If you trust the science, we left Africa at the supposed tipping point being propagandized today. If humans were proliferating at a higher temperature in the past, why is it now supposedly doomsday for a 1.5 C change ….. 🤔🤔🤔
Im trying to not judge people's stupidity, as we all were at some point stupid and its just school that failed them… But sometimes it's difficult.
And omg thank you for the pun. Ypuyre brilliant ❤
Or are we making more and more boats/cruisers and war ships. Don’t forget all the massive oil rigs that are in the ocean. Everything would be contributing not just melting ice.
There is zero proof that carbon dioxide is the cause of warming. Only climate scientists have a consensus. Many Astrophysicists believe it’s more to do with the 52,000 year cycle our solar system makes thru the universe, or variations in sun spots and solar radiation.
Climate change is fake
Amazing that this video even had to be made
Also, warmer water is less dense than colder water. Even with no ice caps melting, the sea levele would rise
Can u tell us what ice sheets are melting and which ones are expanding?
When the last ice age ended, it was discovered that New York harbor lay under over 3 miles of ice. That is almost the equivalent elevation of Mt. Everest!!
What caused it to melt?…….hmmm; oh yeah! GLOBAL WARMING!!!
Since very few humans existed at the time, industry was not the culprit ?
Maybe it was wooly mammoth farts? Oh yeah most of them died during the freeze out!
Only reason remaining is it was a natural event!!!!
Imagine that; natural events caused the Earth to warm!!!
Hmmmm? Makes one wonder? Tell me Mr scientist, have you ever theorized that possibly the climate is still returning to levels it experience prior to the ice age?
Just a thought!
He is so cute and so handsome…😍😍😍
This is what we mean by lack of critical thinking skills. With just a few keystrokes, people have endless information at their fingertips but instead use it to post nonsense
Its shocking that you have to explain that most ice is on land for people like that.
Global warming is a scam unfollowed
Bet a bunch of these deniers also believe flat earth too
Rising sea levels due to global warming uh-huh. Just remember, all these rich million and billionaires, all have their mansions on the beaches. Seems like a poor investment if they actually believed their mansion was at risk for being underwater.
environmental science is fun
Dissolved bubbles are not what makes ice float. Liquid water is more dense because the molecules are further apart when stacked, they can pack more tightly when they can move.
Ice does tend to contain bubbles, but the main reason it is less dense is that the crystalline structure has more space between each molecule than liquid water does. Water is most dense at 4°C, at standard pressure anyway.
🤷🏼♂️ let's get on with life.
Do people make this argument? Cause…….. I always thought this was a fairly well understood reason as to why ice caps melting raises sea levels. 😮
Dude looks rough. I'm a fan (and patron), just asking if you are okay?
Man made global warming is a lie. A very big and well marketed lie.
In the first place why would you use an analogy like that the world isn't a cup now is it so many difrent and extra rules apply in such an unimaginably large scale its reduculous to apply such a simple analogy.
