Falling Sea Levels

I never understood why global warming necessarily should lead to rising sea levels. The amount of ice on the Antarctic and Greenland is determined mainly by precipitation, and all climate models predict an increase in this. It can't really be any other way, because Antarctica is one of the driest places on the planet. Climate change can hardly make it drier. Any change will be towards more precipitation.

Regardless of which way the climate is going, sea levels will be falling, and the latest data from NASA supports this prediction.
