I suspect the amount
of additional 33psu surface
waters entrained by the sinking brine is indicated by the nearly 35psu salinity
of Arctic ocean
water below about 300
meters depth; if the salt from each
cubic meter of ice formed were added to approximately 15
cubic meters of water at 33psu, it would raise the salinity to near 35psu.
The only problem with all the predictions about the level
of the World Ocean rising is that, the World Ocean is refusing to rise up in support
of the predictions, the other problem is that
ice is frozen fresh
water and frozen fresh
water only covers about 5 %
of this planet above sea level and frozen
water under the level
of the World Ocean does not count as the World Ocean will fall a small amount if that
ice melts, so if the
ice there is enough to get the World Ocean to rise and significant amount then it must be piled up very high, I
cubic kilometer
of water as
ice, should it melt, would make 1000 square kilometers rise by one
meter, so when you use this simple math then somewhere on the planet, above the level
of the sea, then there must be over 500,000
cubic kilometers
of ice, piled up and just waiting to melt, strange that no one can find that amount
of ice, all these morons who talk about the rise
of the World Ocean in tens
of meters, this includes you Peter Garrett or Mr. 7 Meters, the ice does not exist to allow this amount of rise in the World Ocean, it is just not

Global mass balance data are transformed to sea - level equivalent by first multiplying the
ice thickness (
meters) lost to melting by the density
of ice (about 900 kilograms per
cubic meter), to obtain a
water equivalent thickness, and then multiplying by the surface area
of these «small» glaciers (about 760,000 square kilometers).
