Could you solve the problem of rising sea levels by wiping out all sea life?
Rising sea levels are not the cause of sea life. In fact, some types of plankton absorb CO2 from the water, and in turn this means that global warming is slowed, and so the ice caps don't melt so quickly, and so sea levels don't rise so much...
