Water doesn't raise because the way the water molecules are a arranged. The density is lower than water causing the ice to float, once it melts the density goes up and the volume decreases (the volume the ice took up). The average water level will still go up. Though there is quite a bit of water in the caps that are above ground in antarctica; which is the largest continent on the planet by estimations and the ice gets over 1 mile thick. This isn't enough to flood the planet but most of the coast lines and islands will be gone. (By the estimates.)
As for the the topic there are other scriptures that say god will not allow man totally ruin the Earth, and there are other more pressing dangers to the planet then just global warming. For example the US has several hundred thousand serine gas bombs which is enought to kill all life, even the cockroaches several times over decaying in bunkers in the mid-west and they are unable to safely disarm them they are so coroded. These are from WWII and what they have been doing is just pouring cement over the bunkers in the hopes if there is a breach it can be contained. This news is from 1994 an investegation for ABC and expert they had on estimated they would go off if nothing was done around 2015.
As BasilZero pointed out no one will now the time. There are signs it is getting near but as other scriptures bring out it would come suddenly as a theif, and the world as a whole will be declaring "Peace and Security" (Whether this is an actual pronouncement or just a genral view is unknown) that is when god will come and destroy the world. (Matthew)
It worth bring out that world in this sense is the human system of things, or human run system. The Bible is composed of literal and figurtive passages and you have to do a lot studying to tell them apart. In all of the cases of the world being destroy they use the figurtive sense. Because it points out that the world's end will be simular to the way the world ended in Noah's day. The earth wasn't destroy the people ruining the Earth where destroyed. In several scripture it brings out the god didn't create the world (in this case Earth) for nothing but to be inhabited for time indifinate. (Psalms, 2 Peter amoung others)
Sorry for not pointing out the exact scriptures. I'm working on something else, and need to get it done before work.
