why not start sending water from the melting ice caps into space...?

this will stop exessive flooding and save many lives

That's an interesting solution to what appears to be the inevitable problem of a future increase in sea levels.
However, I'm an inventor and I've already registered my plans for solutions to the global flooding problem:-

Plan A - We build a low watertight wall around the Sahara Desert to keep in the rain and stop it escaping to the sea. This will irrigate the desert and create an African Prairie, making countries like Mali and Chad as rich as Nebraska and Kansas.

Plan B - We build a canal joining the North Sea to Britain's disused coal mines and simply allow the water to drain away. This plan would be financed by creating a massive underground Disneyland and Casino below the streets of Newcastle and Durham, running on hydroelectric power generated by the underground rivers and waterfalls.

Plan C - I don't want to tell you this one, 'cause you might laugh at it.

Two thirds of what we would be loosing will be OXYGEN and a third hydrogen. I personally like breathing the stuff.
Also we need oxygen in the presence of electrical disturbances IE (Lightening, Aurora Borealis) in the upper atmosphere to create OZONE (O3).
Without Ozone UV B radiation will cause mutation of skin cells and cause skin cancers like Melanoma. Your eyes would burn out in no time too.

Don't Forget that there have been many ice ages in the past and in the end they all recede. We shouldn't shoot our selves in the foot. What we are seeing is the earth healing itself.
Nature has it's own way of reaching equilibrium after we upset the balance.

that's a great idea start sending it to mars, then there should be a possibility of making life there!!! and will solve our problem of rising water levels

And how much will it cost? Why not change ourselves and be green? That's easier.

Sounds like a good idea, but it would be very expensive. And it would be much easier to just become more enviromentally friendly.
