Wall of ice the size of Rhode Island heading toward penguin-packed island off Antarctica, floating ice is not going to raise sea levels

All glacier ice extending into the sea, when it breaks off Antarctica can never raise sea levels as it floats on the sea.
People seem to not understand that. Ice melting off land can do that as that is not supported by water and then it enters water. Ice shelfs coming away from land are sea ice regardless of origin. As they exist on the sea , sea level simply level is as it is and won't change

Floating ice melting does nothing, although it might make the sea colder as it melts. You can see that by filling a glass with ice, note the water level and let it melt. All ice shelfs could break free of land and not raise the sea an inch higher. It would though make it colder farther from Antarctica.

I've tried to explain that for decades. Use ice cubes in a glass as a demonstration. Get dear in head lights. Propaganda trumps empirical science shows people are not educated but indoctrinated.

Air is in Ice, that's why the water she grows out and up to be sitting the top on the water.
