Not likely.
Around 14,000 years ago ice melted and put an area about the size of Russia and Europe under water. It also happened fast at the highest point of melt the sea level may have been rising by nearly 1 foot per year.
Now everyoneis freaking out over 2ft of sea level rise in 100 years. We aren't going to see anything on the scale of what happened at the end of the last ice age until the next ice age starts.

China is doing more, they eclipse us in current CO2 production and are still projected to continue to grow their CO2 production for up to another 50 years before leveling off. The entire developed world is projected to produce more CO2 in the coming years. Germany and Japan are all of a sudden afraid of nuclear power so they won't use nuclear out of fear and ignorance. Germany is making up for that energy by burning natural gas from Russia and Japan is making up their nuclear power gap by burning coal from china.

The US is already past peak CO2 and has been declining since 2006. The United States is already doing our part.
It would seem the rest of the world stopped believing in man made climate change in favor of cheap power.
