Well, back to Mikes question... (welcome back, BTW - you seem to have been missing for a while)

If the Arctic melted the sea level would rise a negligible ammount.

Based on some reading if the ice on Greenland and Antarctica were to all melt it would raise sea level by about 200 feet.

Greenland and the West Antarctic ice sheet each contain enough ice to raise the sea level by about 15-20 feet.

The numbers are not mine, but I have not yet found anything to refute them.
