"Alarming predictions that global warming could cause sea levels to rise 6ft in the next century are wrong, it has emerged.The forecast made by the influential 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which would have seen cities around the world submerged by water, now looks ‘unlikely’.A Met Office study also rules out the shutdown of the Atlantic Ocean’s conveyor belt, which would trigger Arctic winters in Britain like those seen in the film The Day After Tomorrow."

I invite everyone here to try an experiment. Get a glass, half fill it with ice cubes, then top it up right to the brim with water. leave it in a warm room for a few hours. If it overflows, The IPC were right. If it doesn't. they were wrong. It won't, but try it yourself and see. If they had studied something as basic as Archimedes' Principle they would have realised that melting ice will not increase, or change sea levels, since the ice displaces it's own weight in water anyway, but applying common scientific principles which have been known and understood for over two thousand yeas is beyond them.
