If you took all the boats, ships, yachts, and other floating things out of water world wide would the water level sink around the globe?

Re: So then (Silly Friday question)
I'd say no, because the rate at which we're making the earth thaw would probably more than make up for it.....

Re: So then (Silly Friday question)
Yea, probably. Not to any measurable effect, but theoretically yes.
