archimedes' principle

Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces.

this principle underpins how we account for mass removed from the ocean column when a whale leaves the fluid system.

whales are big and contain lots of water

sea levels are rising

observation set 1

we did the test, put some ice in a glass and fill it to the brim with water. you'll see that when the ice melts, the water level actually drops. so this bull of the ice caps are melting is pure rhetoric.

observation set 2

what is really happening is that all species of whale, have banned contraception amongst their respective families. this is creating a baby boom, which has resulted in a huge increase of whale population
