Here's an easy experiment for the deniers who seem to be confused on what ice melt is all about. Take an ice cube out of your freezer and place it outside on the sidewalk in the hot sun. How long does it take to melt? Several minutes maybe? In that time, did the practical reality of the environmental temperature change? No, probably not. Were you able to still touch the ice and interact with it even as it melted? Of course you could. Now imagine an ice cube the size of a small continent. Now add heat. No doubt it will take much longer to melt than your wee little ice cube, but melt it will. In the meantime, ice still exists for careless people to get stuck in and interact with. This is not rocket science. It doesn't take a genius to understand any of this. The people who think they're being really clever posting this stuff make themselves look like they failed elementary science. Ice takes time to melt, guys. I can't believe this even has to be said.
People studying ice tend to get close to it. I'm not sure what the mystery is here.
