The other day I had a random urge to Google why sea levels are actually rising, and I learned that it's not a result of melting ice. Melting ice and rising sea levels are both the result of rising temperatures. The sea absorbs the heat and expands.
However, the loss of ice does accelerate the warming because less light is reflected from the earth.
