      No, even if you melted all the ice at the North and South poles there would still be lots of land above water.

      Because our planet is warming up, some ice is melting and the sea level is rising slightly every year. We think that the sea level will use by about a metre over the next 100 years. That’s not too bad, but people living at the Sea shore may have to move.
