Two studies released Monday signal that five glaciers in West Antarctica are undergoing irreversible decline over the next several hundred years, signaling sea level-rise of nearly four feet.
Five glaciers that feed continental ice from Antarctica into the Pacific sector of the Southern Ocean – glaciers long seen as the soft underbelly of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet – are undergoing irreversible decline, two new studies indicate.

I guess there is no point in trying to counteract it then.
On global warming I always go here to get the debunking
I guess man will just have to adapt to higher sea levels over the NEXT 200 YEARS.
I won’t be here so I don’t care.
“Great. No we can quit worrying about ‘stopping’ it. Smoke em if you got em, fire up the generator, and lets carbon it up like its 1999!”
Love it!!!
Huh? I just responded to a thread that warned of 15 feet..........oh dear, what am I to believe?
As my kids love to say, "mom, when you say several, do you mean 2? 4? 10?"
IOW, let's all panic about something that is (supposedly) out of our control yet may not even occur for another century.
Yeah, that's the ticket.
If we passed the point of no return, can they then shut up about it since there is no “return” possible?
If we have “passed point of no return”, what’s the point of trying to change it?
I searched for air bubbles in glacial ice and got this hit. I think the actual weight of the ice would determine how much the transferred ice from land to water would actually displace as was stated in another posting. http://www.igsoc.org:8080/journal/1/8/igs_journal_vol01_issue008_pg443-451.pdf

IOW, instead of 20 years and 300 feet, or 100 years and 100 feet, it’s 300 years and 4 feet, or in reality, as many years as you can name and zero feet.
