"heated" in the context of this discussion means "33 degrees which melts some ice.. somewhere" not "oh my fucking god! the oceans are boiling and we're all going to die"
Ignorance is believing that melting ice would not require any rise in temperature on the planet. Or that the rise in temperature would only be in regards to the part of the planet that houses the icecaps.

If ice melts, it means the temperature of our planet has risen. This means that all the water on the planet rises in temperature (even if it's small). That rise will expand the water, thus causing the sea levels to rise. I don't see how this is hard to comprehend.
