Over all the temp of the earth is rising and it's picking up speed. The ice caps are melting. All the ice (that it's floating) will increase sea levels world round.
Doesn't seem to be a debatable issue to me at this point. We can see the ice melting. I guess you could debate why they're melting... quickly.

It's worthless date in the sense that you can't measure climate in any way except over a period of hundreds of years. I don't care if there were record highs every day for a decade, that means nothing. The Earth may be warming up a bit and the ice shelves melting, but the debate is over natur or man made. There hasn't been nearly enough time for us humans to have affected the climate in any measureable way. After a few hundred years, then we will have some idea whether we have or not
