fresh water is at its maximum density at just above freezing anyway, i believe. salt water depends on salinity

It's called thermal expansion. It's agreed upon by virtually every major scientist in the world. When the planet increases in temperature, water expands, the sea levels rise. I don't know of any scientist in the world that doesn't believe that. The argument is whether humans are causing the rise in temperatures or whether it's a natural progression of the planet.
