A better question which I’ve always asked to global warming nut balls is the following
If all the above sea level ice on planet earth melted how much would that raise the ocean sea levels?
Now mind you the north and south poles average about -22-50°C so it’s never gonna happen
But the answer will surprise you
Ummmm....200 feet? And, “Now mind you the north and south poles average about -22-50°C so it’s never gonna happen” You’ll be getting a call from grrrreta or manbearpig shortly. :-)
The North pole is irrelevant. If it completely melts, there would be zero change in the water levels.
But what if BLM grabs a bunch of battery-operated hair dryers and heads to the North and South poles? Will they have their revenge on the white devils at last? Or will they discover that there’s no place to recharge a battery in the polar regions?
Google says the seas would rise approximately 70 meters if all the ice melted. Is that your conclusion?

According to National Geographic, if all ice on Earth melted, this would be the resultant map:
However, remember that all of the ice at the North Pole is floating, so if the North Pole melts, there would be no change in sea level. Ditto for much of the ice at the South Pole.
It's areas like Greenland and mountain glaciers that would contribute to sea level rise.

About 200 feet.
Rush once said that there’s a worldwide emergency and the earth must raise the sea levels two feet in the next year. How would you do it?
