As the polar caps melt, it actually ADDS water weight to the surface of the planet.

Ummmm... you actually think that the ice weighs nothing and when it melts, the weight suddenly appears?

(The density of ice is slightly lower, which is why it floats... but the mass of water is not greater than that of ice... it merely occupies a slightly different volume of space. Density = mass / volume.)

Sorry, maybe I should have used the word ‘redistributes’ instead of ‘add’.
