&nbsp;&nbsp;Endo <i>et al</i>. says that the sea level will be lower due to the ice in the polar region, and refers to the IPCC (Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change) assessment reports as if these reports would have supported the notion. The referred sections of IPCC reports, however, describe the effects of &ldquo;polar ice sheets&rdquo; of Antarctica and Greenland combined, and not &ldquo;ice in the polar region&rdquo; as Endo <i>et al</i>. says.
