Since water and ice have approximately the same density, the volume of ice that needs to melt is (approximately) THE SAME as the volume of water needed to raise sea levels ~ 6m. Schmitt states this, so how come the volume of ice is about 8 ORDERS of magnitude Less than the volume of water???

Because Ice Floats.

No, actually, that turns out to be not the case.
