It seems to me that the global warming / sea level rise advocates are trying to say that the ice that melts today could cause a similar sea level rise as after the last ice age.

It's like saying that one ice cube will fill a 5 gallon bucket with water if it melts.

Agree. It's the melting ice/snow on the land masses that would cause the oceans to rise. Since the amount today no where near approaches what it was during the last Ice Age some 11,500 years ago, it is hard to get alarmed about what little melting is going on. In fact, 90% of the world's glaciers are increasing, which portends a new ice age and global cooling, not warming.

Not by Fire but by Ice: THE NEXT ICE AGE - NOW!
