First thing that came to mind when i saw that the first time.

The water? There's tons of crap (gases, too) hidden in the mantle. If it becomes less dense, it will release that stuff -- most of it was probably hydrogen and oxygen to begin with. Which when combined, we all know makes water. (Not to mention the ice-balls hitting the planet over those millions and billions of years)
It stops, I hope? I'd hate for the planet to expand till we're just a cloud of debris....  |
True i remember i watched a special on rocks a few weeks ago where they said that certain types of rock over time create molecules of water since the gases trapped inside them combine because of the extremely high pressure within the rock and when they're split it releases it into the atmosphere. Also all the gnarly amounts of sulfur and hydrothemal fluid coming out of the underseas vents eventually makes it up into the atmosphere and with nowhere to go they stabilize. So very possible.
Also it the theory stands true we might be able to hop on over to mars. At least till the sun expands and devourers the terrestrial four. In fact come to think of it the fact that the sun expands in such a way and Jupiter and saturn are supposedly expanding, it would make sense that we would too.

Global temperature variance will still affect the icecaps and sea levels. I just think the whole human cause global warming thing is a bunch of propaganda, though i can't figure to what end. If for whatever reason i somehow win a nobel prize i'll toss it if there's no further conclusive evidence to prove that gore was actually right. Plus nobel invented dynamite... see the irony.
