The world would most definitely be more hotter and global warming would be out of control. This would shorten the life of earth exponentially.

Answer:

If all of the ice on Antarctica, Greenland, and in mountain glaciers around the globe melted, sea level would increase by approximately 70 meters. (230 feet). The water would engulf all coastal towns. And the land size would be considerably reduced.
