Watch Out For The Big Meltdown!!!

While the Arctic thaw remains quite a worry, scientists seem to be sweating as problems arrive down south. A team of geophysicists from The University Of Toronto have predicted that the collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet would result in sea levels affecting the coastlines of North America. They also predicted that nations south of the Indian Ocean will face the greatest threats from the resulting rising sea levels. The trend is particularly worrisome. The West Antarctic is fringed by ice sheets which act to stabilize the ice sheet. Sensitive to global warming, fractures in the ice sheet will eventually result in a collapse due to the expansion of water. If that happens , the rise in sea levels is 25% higher than average. An estimated risk of a six to seven metres of sea level rise if the sheet melts away. Looks like we truly are in deep water this time.
