Storm in a Teacup

the Physics of Everyday Life
A human body is a vast coordinated collection of cells, about 37 trillion of them last time anyone tried to count, each one a tiny factory. Every single cell needs supplies, but it also needs a safe environment, with the right temperature, pH and moisture level. === As glaciers and ice sheets melt, water that was locked up on land is flowing back into the sea, so there’s more water in the global ocean. But that accounts for only approximately half of the current rise. The other half comes from thermal expansion.
