"More is added to the inland ice than is melting off the coasts there." Link? I will grant you at one time that was assumed. But that was before they measured the all of the glaciers on the West Antarctic ice sheet. Of which, all but a small fraction are in full and accelerating retreat. So you statement may no longer reflect current data. In fact, it is unlikely to. You need to update your sources.

ice melting on the South Pole is negative, Ted. More is added to the inland ice than is melting off the coasts there. That's been proven incorrect. The ice is melting just as fast in the South as in the North. In fact, they have sighted an iceberg as big as Manhattan heading towards AU, part of the ongoing breakup of a major glacier in Antarctica. And in the North what was once thought to a be a peninsula jutting off from Greenland is in reality an island. The changes are accelerating. GW is happening. What worries me is that it may be too late to do anything about it.
