What are the chances of global warming having no effect (or little effect) on the world as opposed to our constant fear of it flooding many of the major cities? It seems to me that global warming is way overrated because much of the mass of ice is composed of air which will break free and join the atmosphere once the glaciers melt. Also, water expands when it freezes, therefore when the glaciers melt there will be less water released than people would think.
Any dates for when these glaciers are going to melt??

I watched an interesting program on Global Dimming a while ago, it'snot as well known as Global Warming but the effects could be quite devastating if you believe the worst-case-scenarios.
Here's a link to explain more.

Millions from Famines in the Sahel in the 70s and 80s
The death toll that global dimming may have already caused is thought to be massive.
Climatologists studying this phenomenon believe that the reflection of heat have made waters in the northern hemisphere cooler. As a result, less rain has formed in key areas and crucial rainfall has failed to arrive over the Sahel in Northern Africa.
In the 1970s and 1980s, massive famines were caused by failed rains which climatologists had never quite understood why they had failed.
The answers that global dimming models seemed to provide, the documentary noted, has led to a chilling conclusion: “what came out of our exhaust pipes and power stations [from Europe and North America] contributed to the deaths of a million people in Africa, and afflicted 50 million more” with hunger and starvation.
