Taikun, my statement which you are attempting to refute referred to the ice shelves floating on sea water. I said: "However some of the floating Antarctic ice shelves have receded, but this would not cause a change in pressure."

Your reference to the ice sheet over the Hudson's Bay area is not relevant to my comment because it was not a floating ice shelf. Rather, it was a continental ice sheet several miles thick, like the current Antarctic ice sheet.

Let's be clear about the distinction between ice sheet and ice shelf:

Ice sheet = Ice accumulation resting on solid ground, regardless of whether the ground is above or below sea level.

Ice shelf = Ice floating on seawater, attached to an ice sheet.
