### About 0.00 mm (for the purpose of a thought experiment assuming
only the Arctic ice melts, without a concomitant change in ocean
temperatures). This reasonably precise number can be derived from the
law of Archimedes and the negligible amount of Arctic ice sticking up
above the waterline.

The Antarctic ice shield, BTW, is doing well and has been growing
significantly in the last few decades.
