Antarctic Ice Sheet Collapse Underway & Irreversable

Tuesday, 13 May 2014 | by Pat's Picks

Two groups of scientists say the collapse of the giant West Antarctica ice sheet is underway - and it’s unstoppable. As a result, researchers say the sea will rise 12 feet, though it will take between 200 and 1000 years for that to happen. The Washington Post says these new projections of sea level rise are higher and more devastating than the projections from an international report released last year and the National Climate Assessment issued last month.
