We don't know when all the ice caps will melt. We may be able to slow global warming so they don't all melt.

Even if they do all melt, sea levels will rise around 70 metres, or 215 feet, all over the world. This will flood many coastal cities and farmlands, but there will still be plenty of high ground that will not be flooded.

Do all hurricanes make sea levels rise?

No. Hurricanes can cause storm surges, especially if combined with high tides, which can overwhelm levees and flood coastal areas temporarily. They do not raise global sea levels. The melting of ice caps and glaciers and the expansion of the warming oceans will raise sea levels.


If God said that He would never flood the earth again then why do floods still come to places?

God did not say that He would never again flood the earth. He said the following: The Holy Bible, Genesis chapter nine verses eleven through nineteen "And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth. And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan. These are the three sons of Noah and of them was the whole earth overspread." God promised us that, "the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh."
