520 _a"Now that the earth is incontrovertibly heating up--2002, climate experts report, edged out 1999 as the second warmest year on record, after 1998--concerns about the overall stability of Antarctica's ice are on the rise. And with good reason. Locked away in that ice, after all, is 75% of the earth's freshwater, enough to raise global sea levels 200 ft." (TIME) This article discusses the quandary posed to scientists by Antarctica, part of which is warming--a situation that could cause the ice to melt and sea levels to rise--and part of which is cooling.
