What the hell? He mentioned thermal expansion, that happens to water too and its common knowledge.

Stop giving physics lessons when you don't even manage to figure out what the other guy was talking about, please.

Also to add to his point, it's not only about melting continental icecaps and thermal dilation but also all the extra water over continental shelves will also press the continents down just a little further, just like all that glaciers did during the ice age. And there's water erosion too... overall you would need to look perhaps at the 100, 110 meter aline to figure what would come from all that polar ice melting down. 

Thermal expansion does not apply. The displacement of the solid water is the same as the displacement from the water in liquid form - as the experiment showed.

The only applicible response was Mr. Khans. You just parroted his answer.
