It predicts a 2.5-4.5 °C warming for 21st century according to fossil fuel proportion in energy use. It says precisely that a 2°C global warming would be enough for a 5°C warming of the West Antarctica Ice Sheet, whose melting could be rapid (”requiring a century or less and causing a sea level rise of 5 to 6m” that “would flood 25% of Louisiana and Florida”).

"Antarctica Glacier Melting faster than usual defying models.
Now predictions show Antarctica will be ice free in summers by 2012. " http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RKHPTrkHpY Greenland is melting far quicker than 20 years ago... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bVsuHHZbGg "from the today show, melting glaciers in Greenland" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQwjoFKHj8Y "The UN Environment programme warns the world's glaciers are melting at the fastest rate on record." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqcikucun4U "The size of the ice is the size of a small country, and if too much of it breaks away, glaciers behind it might start to fall into the sea, increasing sea levels. " http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mM4dq3BVVU "Global warming could do more than just melt polar ice. It could change our maps, and displace people from cities and tropical islands. See all National Geographic videos: http://video.nationalgeo..." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJAbATJCugs "Earth is heating up lately, but so are Mars, Pluto and other worlds in our solar system, leading some scientists to speculate that a change in the sun's activity is the common thread linking all these baking events." http://www.livescience.com/environme...s_warming.html "Glaciers high in the Himalayas are dwindling faster than anyone thought, putting nearly a billion people living in South Asia in peril of losing their water supply." http://www.abc.net.au/science/articl...e&topic=latest "Two studies by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology looked at 30 glaciers in the country and concluded that they are losing about a metre of thickness of every year." http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2...?section=world Neat stuff ! |
