so now you are telling me that cooling and more ice also raises sea levels?

Jesus Christ we really are living in an idiocracy. The sea level would rise on the east coast of the US due to the current weakening, not because of more ice.

The northward surface flow of the Amoc leads to a deflection of water masses to the right, away from the US east coast. This is due to Earth's rotation that diverts moving objects such as currents to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere. As the current slows down, this effect weakens and more water can pile up at the US east coast, leading to an enhanced sea level rise.
