Yes, but the problem with that argument is that it ignores the vast amounts of ice on Antarctica. I say 'on' deliberately as it's a continent not ice floating in the sea. If that ice goes the planet is shafted - there'd be a >60m (yes, sixty metres) increase in sea level. There is 7.5 million cubic miles of ice on the landmass of Antarctica which is 70% of all fresh water on the planet.
This is of course not likely to happen anytime soon...
