That's a different problem, one largely caused by the developing world.  Different problems, different solutions.  Cutting CO2 emissions will not impact that in the least.

Sulphur Dioxide emissions by China and India are far more damaging.  Here is a graph of freshwater.  Notice that the lion's share of surface fresh water is in Antarctica which is not melting.
