Wouldn't a global warming (no, I don't believe global warming junk science) cause sea levels to fall, not rise?

In short, the junk science theory goes that due to the global warming, the polar ice caps are melting, and thus the sea level is rising.

Thanx for the response. I hadn't thought about the effects of saline.

I am sitting here with a tumbler glass almost filled with water and i added ice to make the water fill to the brim. The ice is melting and the water is not overflowing the glass.
After the ice totally melts in this glass, I bet if i just leave it here, over time, the water will evaporate.

How much would the polar ice caps have to melt, to raise any sea 1 inch ? 1 foot ? and no, I'm not going to do the math. :)
