No he didn't, and no they aren't.
Now, before some right-wing whackos start crowing about worshiping at the church of Gore, let me be clear. Al Gore is not a scientist. He is not a person you should listen to on a scientific subject. He's a spokesman, and a politician. And he deceived you about ice melting. But let's at least be accurate about it.
Al Gore deceived you by specifically leaving out a timeframe. "If" the greenland ice caps melted, we'd see a sea level rise of ___. That's true. What he didn't mention is that at current rates, this would take centuries. Not exactly a lie, but it's certainly deceptive.
Finally, the "ice caps are growing!" rhetoric tends to stem from a single-year uptick in arctic ice extent. As far as climate science goes, that's about as stupid as saying "well, it rained more today than yesterday, so the world must be getting wetter." A one-year change is not indicative of a trend, particularly when that one-year change is just a slight recovery from the lowest point recorded in a 30 year downward trend.
