Wouldnt the icy waters, melted from the arctic, create other major problems. Not so much as the rise in sea water, but the cooler temperatures overall of the waters as they melt.

Perhaps it might be a reverse of global warming, and puts us into a new ice age instead. Perhaps also this is normal occurance as well, expecially since the polars are supposedly getting ready to flip again.

Mind you the above paragraph is just my thoughts on this. nothing concrete smile
