The only significant year–round ice that exists on the planet is on Greenland and the Antarctic and they would both have to melt completely away for the absurd 20–foot higher sea level predictions of Al Gore to come true.

I suspect with average temperature in Antarctic at –31 Celsius, we have little to worry about.
