Ive talked to friends about this and Ive always thought that if the Sea ice caps melted the water level wouldnt rise. Sorry I wasnt able to find anything better than fricking Unsolved Mysteries - Theme for the music

jm8881, you don't understand the displacement. The reason ice floats is because it's less dense. If you made the ice in the shape of a boat, it would still displace the same amount of water. But here's an experiment for you. Get equal amounts of water. Turn one into an ice cube and leave the other as water (beware of evil evaporation!) Now, in separate graduated cylinders, introduce the ice and the water. Does the water level go up the same in both?
But yes, much of the world's ice is on land, like
in antarctica and in greenland and northern parts of Canada and asian. But another thing to consider is, if the world heats up then the AIR will be able to hold more water, too. This would also result in more rain and thus, more fresh water. One last thing, most of you probably don't know, but the earth has natural cycles of hot and cold. That's why we get ice ages. Besides, if we do start to suffer from global warming, we could always trigger the US to trigger a nuclear winter. We've all seen how
