"New evidence from a rapidly warming part of Antarctica suggests that ice can flow into the sea much more readily than had been predicted, perhaps leading to an accelerated rise in sea levels from global warming." (NEW YORK TIMES) This article discusses the concern scientists have expressed over the warming trend and breakup of ice in the Antarctic peninsula that may lead to sea level rise and concomitant ecosystem damage and saltwater intrusion.
