Gore riddle..

Al Gore is stranded on a cubic iceberg that measures 100 miles on a side.
To pass the time until his rescue, he recites from memory all his speeches on Global Warming.
The hot air he produces melts the iceberg.

What is the resulting rise in sea level world wide?

You may assume:
Water expands 10% when it freezes.
The earth has a 4000 mile radius.
Three quarters of the earth's surface is covered by connected oceans.
