Yes I'm sure we can find a few people dumb enough to drown in an event that alledgedly will take till the end of the century to happen. They could probably drown if it really didnt happen but they thought it did.

yeah!!! good question , first of all you should think about global warming,as the global warming occurs it is not for all the things that happen because of global warming the glaciers can melt but it not the main cause so please dont consider global warming as the cause for everything , urs question is that people can drown when the glaciers melt , yes but it is there to happen like this but it is on the world we preserve , green revolution is the one that keeps the world green for food , but every one dont think logic it is told that people we being drown by flood by the melting of the glaciers.

No.
Unless you want glaciers to melt within 24 hours..
Even rapid melting or increase rate of melting would only cause breach of some high altitude glacial lakes and consequent flooding/landslides along drainage lines. Certainly the encroached routes with inhabitants would get affected.

I think the melting glaciers will cause the available land to shrink, causing people to live closer and closer together, eventually and indirectly causing more people to die.

Of course not.
In rich countries they'll be moved. That (and replacing things lost) will cost us all huge sums of money, but none will drown.
The problem in poor countries with coastal farmland is different. There, intruding seawater will ruin farmland and cause food shortages. It is likely that some people _will_ die - of starvation.
Others may flee across national borders and wars may result. (Which is why the US military is worried and why Gore got the "peace" prize.)

substitute in temperature. which comprise sea ranges growing to be. The polar ice caps have a severe albedo (a severe reflectivity) meaning that they mirror most of the infrared warmth back out into area with a view to maintain Earth's temperature. the issue is, is that the ice caps are melting, inflicting this infrared warmth to be absorbed into the sea because of the fact the sea has a decrease albedo (that's darker). It helps to think of of donning a white t-shirt on a warm day or a black t-shirt on a warm day. the white t-shirt reflects extra and the black t-shirt absorbs extra. it is the comparable for the sea and the ice caps. additionally, the Carbon dioxide in the ambience traps a number of this outgoing infrared warmth and this additionally will advance the Earth's international temperature. additionally, with salinization, in case you upload extra freshwater, the extra salt you get because of the fact the water evaporates and leaves salt in the back of. because of the fact of this desalinization is this style of debatable approach because of the fact it works for a time, yet additionally leaves extra salt. that's a 'No unfastened Lunch' technique.

Hardly. The sea levels today are less than what they were 165 years ago.
