Stephen, The Arctic and Antarctic are a LOT bigger then you think. The Antarctic is roughly 4.5 million square miles with an average ice depth of almost 8000'. That is a heck of a lot of ice.
When you start talking about ice sheets the size of some small states splitting off (http://www.latimes.com/news/science/la-sci-antarctic26mar26,0,4061120.story ), I don't doubt that see levels could rise. The US by the way is roughly 3.5 million square miles.

The volume to raise the sea level by .1 meter is enormous.
