Of course not, although the concentration of global warming (so-called
greenhouse) gases may already be high enough to eventually melt the
Greenland ice sheet down to a nubbin.
The phrase 'ice cap' is used for smaller caps of ice; there are
several in northern Canada. As these are above the arctic circle, it
is correct to name such 'polar ice caps'. The ones I know a little
about are small enough, that yes, those could easily disappear in four
years.
