As more water accumulates in the sea and the temperature rises, more energy is also being stored in the sea. Now, we are seeing more of that sea and energy transferred to the land.
Will warmer water increase sea level rise even greater... the warmer the water the higher the rise due to expansion?
The problem with the ice in Antarctica is that much of the ice is on land. As the land ice melts or falls into the ocean the sea level rises.

The collapse of the ice sheet in West Antarctica have raised concern about the rising sea level. “This is really happening,” Thomas P. Wagner, who runs NASA's programs on polar ice, said. “There's nothing to stop it now. But you are still limited by the physics of how fast the ice can flow.” “Today we […]
