If the polar ice cap melts, water level goes DOWN, not up. Simple experiment. Fill a glass with as much ice as you can get in it, fill the rest with water. Wait an hour or so for the ice to melt. It does not overflow the glass, in fact the level drops because ice is less dense than water which reaches maximum density at 39 F.
There would be a seal level rise if you melted all the ice on land but unless Earth flips (again) that it unlikely. And if Earth did flip (again) there wouldn’t be any coastal elites to bitch about it.
