No, because if they were melted all the way, they wouldn't be called ice caps, would they?

Not yet, but once it happens then Manhatten, New Orleans, much of the Los Angeles valley, Venise Italy, and many other coastal cities will be underwater. So the landmass of earth will probably be more like forty percent instead of forty five percent. So we can say goodbye to the atlantic islands, and Key West. Bye Bye Maimi, and Cape Cod. Most of the Hawiian Islands will disappear beneath the water, and much of Florida will be gone as well. This will also increase the amounts of moisture in the atmosphere, and cause more strong storms.
