If the ice was floating when it broke away, the sea level won't rise as it melts. In fact it'll drop slightly. Fill a glass to the brim with ice and water. Walk away until the ice melts. When the ice has melted the water level will be slightly below the brim. We're saved!
It's the glaciers that slide into the sea that we should be concerned about.

You got that bass-ackwards, Jake. Ice below the surface won't add to the total volume, it'll shrink. This is because the crystalline lattice configuration of the ice gives it more volume than the same volume of liquid water. That's why ice floats. Ice above the water's surface will melt and add volume, but lesser volume added than that above the surface in solid form. If the ice was in the water to start with, it might not add, but ice falling from land will add volume.

That's pretty much what I wrote. We're not that far apart.

I spent 4 years in Iceland so I have to add this ... Iceland was 1st found by the vikings and then Greenland, they named the 2 islands backwards as to throw off any new visitors who hoped to migrate in that part of the world. The way the Icelandics told me was that Iceland was the landing spot for the vikings and to avoid overpopulation they changed the name of the 2 islands so if anyone went to Greenland 1st hoping to see a new paradise that they could populate they'd see nothing but ice and cold weather, and so they would figure if this is "Green"land then the hell with "Ice"land ... lets go home.
