Original Note:
The measuring cup experiment doesn't account for greater contributors of sea level rise: the melting of ice sheets and glaciers, which are above water. When land ice melts, it releases water that was previously trapped on land and adds to the water in the oceans. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/meme-debunk-sea-level-rise/ https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2022/06/28/fact-check-measuring-cup-meme-misrepresents-causes-sea-level-rise/7629798001/
