They did say Arctic didn’t they. The Arctic is all ocean. Um, if the ice melts how does that make the sea level rise? Now if they want to talk about ice melting on land, such as Antarctica and running into the ocean, then yes, sea levels would rise.

Not really. Substantial parts of the heaviest ice pack are over land: Baffin Island, Greenland, and elsewhere. Melt from that ice will raise ocean levels. But the thing to remember is that we're still in a warming phase after the most recent ice age (there have been many previously.)

Key here is that humans have nothing to do with global climate. Global warming and cooling are natural processes, far beyond human control. The "global warming/climate change" zealots are exploiting general ignorance about those processes. It's all about world socialism and economic gain for the Gore-bots.
