Contrary to all the other elements, water has a tendency to increase in volume when it transforms into a solid (ice).
When ice transforms into water, the volume decreases.
Anyone can test this out. Take a bottle, fill it to the brim with water, close it and freeze it. Once ice starts forming the bottle will burst open.
Another experiment that you can do is, take a glass of water, put some ice in it and mark the water level. Once the ice melts, check the water level and you'll discover that it's lower.
The claim that global warming is going to increase water levels is nonsense. The opposite is true. Global warming, if it's happening, will decrease water levels.
