It seems to me there is no denying the dramatic melting of ice in the polar regions. If all the ice melts then I read that sea level would rise by 70 metres and of course we would lose the heat-deflecting role of the ice caps which could lead to run-away global warming.

I don't think it's helpful to say that of course global warming has happened many times before, millions or billions of years ago - it may well have done, but there weren't thousands of cities housing billions of people at the time!
the case for climate change being man-made is utterly compelling.
none of the people on this board who don't agree with it have been able to describe what that case is, which strongly suggests that they don't have sufficient awareness or understanding of it.
