Ted,

"As he understands the situation, it is the added weight of the ocean waters caused by glacial melting that accounts for the lion's share of global warming's contribution to tectonic activity.

This makes slightly more sense than the thermal expansion theory, but still sounds kind of bogus.

Dale may be half right (at most). Even complete melting of Arctic is not going to add any weight, since the weight of ice is already sitting on the ocean.

He may have a (weak) case with Antarctica.
