The proportion of sea level rise from melting ice is significantly increasing though. > In the early 1990s, ice sheet melting accounted for only a small fraction (5.6 %) of sea-level rise. However, there has been a fivefold increase in melting since then, and they are now responsible for more than a quarter (25.6 %) of all sea-level rise. It is a bit strange how much melting ice caps get attention more than the thermal expansion of water, but I expect that is because a melting ice cap is much more visceral and easily understood and explained than the thermal expansion of water.
