To most people it is a static system as they live life based on the Gregorian calendar, and that loop, and never look into the dynamism in nature.
Headlines like this are not intended to be hard science.
They’re intended to connect to most people’s beliefs. Usually they explain away the knee jerk false beliefs.

There is also a theory that the gravity made by the icecaps attracts water north and south. After melting, Sweden would see the water go down by 8 meters, the median point would be the south of England, and oceans would rise twice more around the equator.

As we've already observed sea level rising, wouldn't we have also already observed it falling in Sweden (and rising faster around the equator) if that were the case?

Well you also have to take isostatic rebound into account when attempting to calculate this as the crust where the glaciers were is still rising.

We absolutely have. Remember NYC was supposed to be underwater by 2000. That’s probably because of counter forces like this one. This, or the prediction was a scientific mistake. They happen, too.

No I certainly don't remember NYC was supposed to be underwater by 2000. Are you delusional? Or can you cite a source that isn't some sci-fi disaster movie or batshit crazy right-wing conspiracy theory youtube channel?
This and your other postings show you're deeply ignorant with an anti-science axe to grind, and frequently make outlandish baseless claims without any evidence, just like you repeatedly did in this thread.
I understand you don't want to provide any evidence for your ridiculous claims because there is none, but I'd like to know where you get your misinformation from.
I would guess that when there were gigatons of frozen water where there now is none that also changed the rotation of the earth.
Large magma flows and volcanic eruptions also change the rotation.
The earth is not a static system.
