we must switch from oil and gas burning to coal to prevent ocean flooding!
Coal burning: C + O2 -> CO2
but no additional water in the system!
Even if there is any warming Arctic ice melting can not raise the ocean level since floating ice already displaces an equal weight of water. Only ice melting on land can increase the water in the ocean and that would be counteracted by increased water vapor held by the atmosphere.
Methane burning: CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2(H2O) This results in "new" water in the "system".
Since the molecular weights involved are: 12 for carbon, 1 for hydrogen, and 16 for oxygen; this impies that:
molecular weight of methane = 14 = (12 + 4*1) molecular weight of resultant water = 36 = 2 * (2*1 + 16)
This means that for every ton of natural gas burned there is 2.57 (2.57 = 36/14) tons of "new water" added to the system!
We must saved the coastal cities! We must save the pacific island nations!
We must switch from hydrocarbon fuels to coal!
