You gotta remember that the oceans are huge and the glaciers are by comparison, tiny. The oceans have risen less than an inch in the last 100 +/- years.
Also, as the earth warms, particularly at the poles, you get more snow fall, partially offsetting the loss of glacial ice. This is happening today in the Antarctic.
