We're already getting that.

Did you hear that t he Ross Ice Shelf collapsed? Did you hear that the
continental ice that it was holding up is now flowing into the ocean?
Did you know the Greenland is covered with the same sorts of lakes that
the Ross Ice Shelf developed before its collapse? Do you know what
happens when you dump a lot of fresh water into the North Atlantic?


Of course I have heard these. But yet the ocean hasn't moved up one
iota.


You really should learn to not talk about things you know nothing about.


what you've posted is a total lie. Have you made your own checks or measurements, snit? I thought not.

During the twentieth century, sea level rose by 20-30 centimeters (8-12
inches).

That's an out right lie and you know it.
If it had, the naval shipyards that I've worked at would have been panicking back then. There were no measurable levels of ocean increases.

...
As sea level has risen, Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding. Saltwater
intrusion is adversely affecting its drinking water and food production.
Coastal erosion is eating away at the nine islands that make up the country.
The higher temperatures that are raising sea level also lead to more
destructive storms.

Sea level isn't, well, level. Nor is the rate by which sea level has been
rising over the past few decades, but the trend is clearly up. Global sea
level has risen an average of three millimeters (0.1 inch) per year since
1993. ...
Researchers say that about half of the rise in global sea level since 1993
is due to thermal expansion of the ocean and about half to melting ice.
...
"More heat is coming into Earth's atmosphere than is going out," says Dr.
Lee-Lueng Fu, project scientist for the Jason mission. "Over the past 40
years, the ocean has absorbed 84 percent of this excess heat--enough heat to
warm the entire atmosphere by 27 degrees Celsius (49 degrees Fahrenheit)."
The ocean has been able to absorb this heat by mixing warm surface water
with much colder water from its depths, he explains. "The question is how
long can it continue to do this."

Also has a charts showing the trend

Global ocean levels are rising twice as fast today as they were 150 years
ago according to research presented in Science by a team of researchers.
Using core samples of sediments along the New Jersey coast, the scientists
found that rates of sea level change have climbed significantly over the
past 200 years, coinciding with the beginning of the industrial revolution
when carbon dioxide emissions began to dramatically increase. Carbon dioxide
is the principal greenhouse gas believed to contribute to global warming.

It shows no increase on the naval shipyards caison indicators.


Cite?

I told you, but you seem to be sniffing too much glue lately.
Personal experience snit... something you've yet to get.



If ice is already a float, then if it melts the levels won't change.


Hey! You got a scientific fact right! Congratulations!


When the ice in greenland is moving to the sea is because their is more
snow at the top pushing down causing it to flow. All I see is just a
balance in nature.



Seems you've missed this one, snit. Run out of glue?
