The only concern of the melting ice that is already in the water is the addition of too much fresh water to the delicate balance between fresh and salt water that create the North Atlantic Current. It has absolutely nothing to do with the rising sea level.
The sea level problem is the ice that sits on top of Iceland. That ice is starting to do something very similar to another body of land based ice that slid into the ocean. Water is melting down and thru, and running underneath the ice. If it breaks off and goes into the ocean, it will raise the sea level.
Stickyretards argument is combining the two into one, which they are not. But, what do you expect from a guy who obviously failed Science & Geology.
