Well it's to late to ask Archimedes that. Maybe lynx knows the answer.

Global warming does have far-reaching effects.

Actually global warming would increase the production of tomatoes and we would be able to make more ketchup

During the last ice-age the sea levels dropped and there was a land bridge between the UK and Europe. As the ice melted the sea levels rose considerably. This was despite all sorts of things happening, like the increased amount of sea water pushing the sea bed down and the removal of billions of tons of ice allowing land masses to rise.

I am not sure, but working on the basis of this is just more of the same, I would guess that ice melt will result in yet higher sea levels. Or am I just being overly logical?

You need to remember that during the last ice-age, vast areas of LAND (perhaps 50%) were covered in ice, thereby removing that water from the oceans. At the current time, with the exception of antarctica, there are no great tracts of land permanently buried under several metres of ice, so that ice simply isn't there to melt and raise the sea level.

Actually, I read an article that the hole in the Ozone Layer above Antarctica is actually getting better [recovering] because of banning a while ago that banned a chemical that was used in old refridgerators and air conditioners.
