Sea Ice and the Loss of Land Mass

This video makes the point that melting ice on our planet’s surface is causing sea-level rise, which is correct, but it’s not the ice in the arctic that is of concern; it’s ice that’s on solid ground: Greenland and Antarctica.

If you want to prove this to yourself, put some water in a glass and add an ice cube.  Mark the side of the glass with the new water level.  Allow the ice cube to melt and note that the water level has not changed.
