Actually even though ice warming is the product of global warming, the main reason for seas rising is not the ice melting, but the extension of the volume of all the water in the seas and oceans because of the warming.
Do you have a source? I find this almost impossible to belive, given the fact that about 80% of the ocean isn't affected by surface temperatures, and 18% is fairly well insulated from surface temperatures.
