Depends on a few things, but...a half inch maybe? It takes time. And growth occurs slower roughly exponentially as a function of thickness, so if it is already an inch thick then it takes a lot longer to add another half inch than it would for water to initially freeze a half inch.
When glacial ice is heated to 5 degrees Celsius, it undergoes a phase change known as melting, transitioning from a solid state to a liquid state. At this point, the ice starts to melt into water, resulting in the formation of liquid water from the glacial ice.
I am going to assume your talking about Fahrenheit. Which would take 32 degrees Fahrenheit for ice to begin to melt (albeit slowly). If you come from a place that uses Celsius its understandable to be confused by this at it will seem illogical as Celsius is a simpler and a more logical way to measure temperature.
During the last ice age, the average global temperature was about 5-6 degrees Celsius (9-11 degrees Fahrenheit) cooler than it is today. This cooling led to massive ice sheets covering large parts of North America, Europe, and Asia.
(-5) degrees Celsius = 23 degrees Fahrenheit.
5 degrees Celsius is 41 degrees Fahrenheit.
An ice cube typically has a temperature around -5 degrees Celsius.
Ice
no it melts at 0 degrees Celsius or higher.
It is safe to walk on ice when it is at least 4 inches thick for walking alone, and at least 5-7 inches thick for group activities.
-5 degrees Celsius = 23 degrees Fahrenheit.
Ice cream is typically frozen at temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit). Most household freezers are set to a temperature around -18 degrees Celsius (0 degrees Fahrenheit) to properly freeze ice cream.
The temperature will have to fall 5 more degrees to reach freezing point (0 Celsius).

Ice cream needs to be kept below freezing, because it has ICE in it, and ice needs to be kept at 0 degrees centigrade or lower. On average a fridge is 4 degrees centigrade so it will melt in the fridge...
It depends on what "5 thick" is: 5 inches thick, 5 feet thick, 5 yards thick, 5 miles thick etc.

If the temperature of the earth went up by 5 degrees, the only place polar bears would survive is in a zoo. Polar bears need the ice because they feed through holes in the ice. If there is no ice, then they can't feed.
