Written by climate change deniers who didn't go to school
Look at the idiotic logic in question 2.
"Written by climate change deniers who didn't go to school"
That's logical fallacy #1
"Look at the idiotic logic in question 2."
That's logical fallacy #2
I guess you'll be wanting to correct some of these "climate denying" fools too?

I guess you failed the quiz then?
You have likely heard that 97% of scientists agree on human-driven climate change. You may also have heard that those who don’t buy into the climate-apocalypse mantra are science-deniers. The truth is that a whole lot more than 3% of scientists are skeptical of the party line on climate. A whole lot more.
The many scientists, engineers and energy experts that comprise the CO2 Coalition are often asked something along the lines of: “So you believe in climate change, then?” Our answer? “Yes, of course we do: it has been happening for hundreds of millions of years.” It is important to ask the right questions. The question is not, “Is climate change happening?” The real question of serious importance is, “Is climate change now driven primarily by human actions? That question should be followed up by “is our changing climate beneficial or harmful to ecosystems and humanity?”

Science is supposed to be questioned that's why it's called "science" and not "religion".
Thanks for posting , I did enjoy the articles.
The water displacement thing got me too, I however did some critial thinking and thought "displacment", "Icebergs" and then went forth and educated myself.
One thing you are correct about; ice cubes melting in a glass does not increase water levels. In the real world though, the sea is full of salt, so when sea ice melts, it does contribute slightly to rising sea levels because the ice is freshwater. The more significant concern comes from ice that rests on landmasses. Most of Antarctica and Greenland have ice sheets that are not in the sea. If that ice were to melt, it would indeed lead to a considerable rise in sea levels. To illustrate, imagine placing an ice cube above a glass, perhaps on an absinthe spoon, and allowing it to melt into the glass; your water level will rise.
While there may be differing views among scientists, the overwhelming consensus is that human activities are a significant driver of current climate change, remember there was scientists backing tobacco giants, money and funding talks, thats why we should always follow the majority when it comes to science.
