Do you think the bad effects of climate change have been exaggerated?

Steven TJ asked:
They always said if the polar ice caps melt, areas like the Maldives, Bangladesh and Holland will be flooded.
However, did anyone notice that, if you put some ice into a cup and fill it with water to the brim, when the ice melts completely, the water does not overflow? Polar ice caps already displace the same volume of water they will be if they all melted. There will be no flooding and the islands will not be drowned. What kind of science does climate change promote?
