Back in the '70s, scientists were claiming the next ice age was coming. Then, it was "Global Warming", now that the warming trend has been in recession, they changed it to the all encompassing "Climate Change". Well, you know what? It's all cyclical, has very little to do with human behavior. Hell, one volcanic explosion emits a colossal amount of greenhouse gasses, much more than the sum total of Global output, many times over. It's been debunked that the hole in the ozone is actually the planet's "thermostat", it fluctuates to keep things in balance. The bit about the Earth flooding if the polar caps should melt, that one is really rich. To those that believe that, I have a small experiment for you. Fill a large glass with ice, next fill all of the remaining space with water, allow all of the ice to melt completely. Did the glass flood?
I'm not saying global warming is or isn't real, but your experiment is a little flawed. It would account for the ice floating in the ocean, not the ice on dry land. So in addition to what you suggested above, place a Popsicle stick across the top of the glass once it is filled with ice and water. Place more ice cubes on the Popsicle stick. Allow the ice to melt. The additional ice not in the water should cause the glass to overflow.
