   Ice floating in water does not raise the water level when it melts. A body, in this case ice, floating in water displaces an amount of water equivalent to the weigh of the floating object. When it melts it fills the volume of water that it previously displaced with no increase in water level.

   They are saying the Greenland and Artarctic sea ice will not melt for a century or two. So what is the big rush to find alternative energy?

   The contibution of Alpine glacier melt to sea level rise must be trivial, assuming the glaciers are melting, which is questionable.
