it is possible, but highly unlikely (previous ice ages have lasted significantly longer than 2.5 million years), that we are coming out of the current ice age.
it is much more likely, given the evidence that we have in hand, that we as humans are having a non-negligible effect upon the climate.
fwiw, the effect of melting ice causes other consequences than sea levels rising. that's where "weather" comes into the equation.
eta. i give up.
