What would happen if the North and South poles melted?

According to Paulo Roberto dos Santos, a professor at USP's Institute of Geosciences, if the glaciers suddenly melted, the results would be catastrophic. “Florida, in the United States, for example, would be reduced to just four small islands”, he says. According to him, vast coastal areas, now densely populated, would be submerged and could become a gigantic aquarium, dominated by marine organisms that would accompany sea level rise around 70 meters. Paulo Roberto dos Santos also states that the catastrophe and cost of this event are far beyond our calculations and understanding.
