Put ice cubes in a glass of water and when the ice melts does the water run over? Duh!

While that is certainly true, it does not hold for ice that is supported by underlying dirt or stone. Such "supported" ice, mainly Greenland and Antarctica, does have the potential to cause a rise in mean sea level if it were to melt.
