Of course the melting of ice sheets are not the only, and possibly not the biggest contributers to sea level rise, the expansion of water due to the higher temperatures of the seas also adds perhaps more.

@Allamanda No sorry I can not remember the souce, it was someting I heard a long time ago, but a search should soon turn something up.

@Allamanda There you go found this. [climate.nasa.gov]

@Allamanda I would be very doubtful about any source which claimed that thermal expansion has no effect, even if it is smaller than melting, since if the globe warms it can not do anything else. That would break a lot of natural laws.

@Allamanda Interesting, never thought of that.
