What is the role of glaciers and oceans in the current climate and in possible climate change?

Author: General questions to consider:
What are the glacial evidence of contemporary climate change?
How will sea level and weather changes relate to possible weather change?
How will the rise in sea level impact humans in the future?
How ill the melting of glaciers impact our ocean, ocean life, and human life?
Will the melting ice trigger a ice age? how are ice cores used to measure historical climate change?
What are some solutions to global warming (in a prospective of a hydrometerologist)
please include statistics, facts, and sources. THANKS!
What is the formula for sea water expansion due to warming?
How does this relate to Global Warming theory?
For example, water expands when frozen (don’t know how much), due to crystalization, and is most dense at 36 degrees farenheit.
What are the numbers that describe total sea volume change (hence sea level), when reduction in volume from melting ice is combined with expansion of water above 36 degrees?
Is there a timeline for contraction/expansion assuming a steady increase in global temperature (even by 1 or 2 degrees)?
Do these phenomena explain inconsistencies in sea level observations/projections with regard to global temperature?
