WTH? Imagine that. A bunch of dihydrogen monoxide freezes thereby reducing the amount of liquid dihydrogen monoxide. Then, for some reason, when the frozen dihydrogen monoxide returns to a liquid state there's less frozen and more liquid. It's almost like it's magic or something. And for a certain group of people to just walk here from asia? Maybe that's how native Americans came to be? Guess we'll need to ponder that one. Okay, pondering over.

If water expands when it freezes and contracts when if liquefies, wouldn’t the sea levels fall as it melts?

Well, two things may be going on. The sea may be rising or the land may be sinking—you’d see the same result in either happening. However there is a “path” in Britain, called the Broomway that is flooded every high tide that people have been using for at least the last 600 years, so if the sea level is rising, the land in Essex is coincidently rising at exactly the same rate.

Try it with ice cubes in a glass of water

Sea levels rising and falling, I can see that.
Gets cold, water is trapped into miles-thick ice caps on land, ocean levels fall.
Gets warm, ice caps melt, oceans rise.
It's the part where scientists claim man did it, I owe them money for it, and they can actually affect it - that's the fairy tale.

Rising and falling....since the beginning of time.

You mean my glass won’t overflow when all the ice melts? ;-)

The mass of the earth has been increasing for more than 4.5 billion years. It's increasing to this day.
Ice joining us from space has been part of that increase. When ice thaws in the atmosphere and eventually descends to the surface of an earth getting bigger every second, it stands to reason the oceans are getting deeper in your average segment of deep time.

Not if a lot of the ice is on a land mass and the melt water flows into the sea. (Think Antarctica today.)

Ah ha! What if I use hot water and then put ice in it? ;-)

I have a masters in engineering.
Liberal logic.

what if the melting ice on the land form a lake? ;)

Its not the Arctic ice anyone should be concerned with. Its the south pole that has ice, miles deep over land. If that melts the water levels go up, AND the land rises—displacing more water.
I think this cycle has been going on for eons. I dont think humans have a whole lot to do with it.

FWIW: NOAA or NASA weather released a paper a week ago stating that sea levels are falling due to the massively thickening Antarctic ice shelves.

THEN you would fall under the ‘waters of the us’ rules probably. ;-)

Lucky for us summer is coming on down in the southern hemisphere so the ice should stop thickening up. Right?
