So, does this mean when all the ice is melted on account of global warming there’ll be a big lake instead of a rise in sea level? Just God’s way of preventing another calamitous flood, perhaps...

Or what caused the last one....

~snip~ around 10,000 years ago, Lake Agassiz refilled. The last major shift in drainage occurred around 8,200 years ago. The melting of remaining Hudson Bay ice caused Lake Agassiz to drain nearly completely. This final drainage of Lake Agassiz is associated with an estimated 0.8 to 2.8 m (2.6 to 9.2 ft) rise in global sea levels.[7] ~snip~
