If the sea would rise 1.5 meters, there would be almost no ice left at the poles. Think about the water volume !

There's plenty of water to flood the planet. Consider: the entire midwest of the US was an inland sea throughout the cretaceous (144 million to 66 million years ago). What is now North America was separated into three parts strictly because of the change in water level, and those oceans were as deep as 600 feet.

neat stuff
