Not true, but the sea levels will definately rise due to the melting of polar ice caps by Global Warming, creating a rise in sea level. This in turn may lead to more land becoming ocean floor, but not the whole world! Islands would be the most at risk tho, they could be completely submerged underwater in 20 years if preventitive measures are not taken.

Most of the earth will not be under water. while global warming is true, and it will raise the water level, most of the earth will still be above water. However, I wouldn't invest heavily in current water front property if I were you, as it won't likely exist in 20 years.
Between the global warming ice melt raising the water level and the global warming weather effects, ocean front property is in great danger.

No. Even if the ice cap on Greenland AND the ice cap on Antarctica melt, it will raise sea level only by 15 feet or so. So coastal areas would, in a worst case, be underwater, but the overwhelming majority of what is dry land now would still be dry land then. And that meltdown is likely to happen in only 20 years.

No... Global Warming is real, but it will take much longer than 20 years to flood the Earth.

Of course not. There's not enough water on Earth to cover all the land on Earth. Where did you read that? Not a very credible new source.
