Gravity can't pull a plane through ice or any other solid.

Maybe it's the weight of all that snow and ice piled on top of it pushing it down..  Not so smart now, are you?

I could see if maybe the ice melts and refreezes that it could sink the planes. More likely is that more snow and ice just gets packed on top.

Saw an article this morning about the rise of sea level by up to a foot due to irreversible melting of snow and ice on Greenland. Started to get excited thinking these doomsayers may finally get one right then I read the end of the article, by 2100. Damn.

All these excessive heat waves are because there is less ice to cool the planet.

Ice doesn't cool the planet. It's the other way around.

Does a block of ice in a room cool the room?

When the ice is gone does the room warm up?

If you're putting ice in your whiskey you deserve neither ice nor whiskey.

Wife got these little cube/stone things that you freeze and THEN put in your whiskey. Cools it down, doesn't add water to expensive whiskey

That is an acceptable way to cool your whiskey if you so choose.
