Melting of the Arctic ice cap will have no effect on the sea level. It may have an effect on the sea temperature and current flow. Melting of either the Greenland or Antarctic ice caps would have a big effect on sea level.

I know that.....it is much easier for ice to melt with the flows of warmer underwater currents that coul be shifting than to somehow affect the surface beneath Greenland or the Antarctic.....I am not worried.....unless of course this was caused by nuclear war and then who cares!
