I haven't been "debating" you. I've made no claims or predictions in this thread. I've simply been pointing out your lack of understanding of a single, basic topic, which makes it impossible to put any weight behind your opinions when it comes to more complex and indeterminate topics.
Remember, I'm not making any claims about the existence or rate of polar ice cap melting; I'm simply discussing the effect if such melting did occur, just as you are.

If the polar ice caps melt, the sea levels will not rise

Here are your choices to explain that statement. Please tell me which one is true:
A. I stand by the statement. If the 25 million+ cubic kilometers of land-based ice in the polar ice caps was to turn to water, that water would not cause sea levels to rise. (and feel free to then explain where that water would go)
B. I was wrong. I did not know that the vast majority of ice in the polar ice caps is sitting on land.
