Trees and plants LOVE CO2 !!!! More CO2 means more green plants. The world is greener than ever.
If you want to know for yourself how much we are lied to then you can do an easy experiment yourself right in your kitchen.
Take a bowl and put a big chunk of ice in it. Maybe freeze a paper cup of water and use that as the chunk. put the ice in the bowl of water and mark precisely where the water level is. Let the ice melt. Now mark where the ice level is. You will realize how big the lie is.
Hint, the water level does not change when the ice melts.
One pound of ice is one pound of water.
One pound of ice displaces the EXACT, precisely the EXACT, same amount of water as one pound of water.
Sea ice, which by definition is ice on the ocean, when melted, will not increase ocean levels one bit, zero, nada, ziltch. This is the big lie people fall for over and over and over. It is such simple science, but so many people fall for the simplest of lies.
If all the sea ice on earth melted NOTHING would happen to the ocean levels. They would remain the exact same as they are now. Your vacation house built 3 feet above sea level would still be 3 feet above sea level if all the ice melted.
There is not enough fresh snow/ice on land to do much of anything to sea levels either. Almost all the ice is floating on the ocean.
The Arctic Sea ice is increasing in size currently. Sea levels are not lowering.
A few things - we are not greener than ever and that's part of the problem. Rising CO2 levels while we continually clear cut forests throws the balance off.
To your second point about sea levels, I totally agree. Erosion causes sea level rise. And Erosion is perfectly natural and been happening since mountains and rivers and wind and rain existed. That said, clear cutting of forests causes erosion and exacerbates the problem. But that doesn't fit the narrative. Scientists always dismiss erosion causing sea level rise in favor of ice caps melting. Because you can leverage the latter narrative to make money. The stopping of de-forestation which in turn stops development kills a cash cow. Everything always comes back to money and humans do a great job of over stating how important we are that we control everything. Because - it makes money.
Humans have been here for a second in terms of the historical timeline and in that timeframe we have crowned ourselves the king for the reason of everything that happens on the planet. Humans are power hungry parasites and that character will be our own demise. In another second we will be gone and this big old ball will shake us off and continue to do what it has for millions of years. Thawing, cooling, thawing cooling.....
