Although there might be a small effect from ice in Antarctica and Greenland ending up distributed across the oceans. Because that is a LOT of mass with relatively low angular momentum. While it is still near the poles. | |

We can elaborate more and take into account that the evaporation of water is not even if we assume a 2 cm average membrane rising up. Even at most basic case it has to deal with Coriolis effect and thermals and jet streams. I thought because this could be modeled like a cat's balancing act, picking water from mostly the warmer latitudes and dumping it in a wide area, and it is accumulative over time may be it has greater impact. | |
