<I guess we should ignore the fact that 15000 years ago a mile of ice rose above most of North America and Northern Europe and Northern Asia. The melting of that ice released a lot more water than an Antarctic melt might and the world and humans still live.>

Perhaps, but the tourists who walked over what is now the Bering Sea got trapped in a high rent area. I would be curious to see your calculation of the thickness of No. American glaciation. Most "experts" say 700-800 m tops, and that was only over the northern half of the US. Antarctica is bigger.
