So what’s the big deal about disappearing glaciers?

If all of the ice in the glaciers and on Greenland and Antarctica melted, sea level would rice by about 200 feet. This is not a matter of dispute. The dispute is whether or not the ice is melting.

If all the ice in continental glaciers melted, which is what I meant, that would only be 0.29% of the total ice. Most of the planet’s ice is in Antartica and Greenland ice packs, and the last I heard these were steady.
