Surprisingly, the rise is uneven and may lead to lower sea level depending on where you are. The mass of icecaps is so important that it attracts water around them by gravity, and it gets composed with the extreme centrifugal force. If the average rise is 5m, places like Vancouver could see a -0.5m movement while other places around the equator could see +6.5m. http://harvardmagazine.com/2010/05/gravity-of-glacial-melt http://harvardmagazine.com/2010/05/gravity-of-glacial-melt But if the West Antartica melts, the cold stream may stop the Gulf Stream too... which leads to an ice age in Europe.
