The ongoing collapse of a large part of the Antarctica ice sheet could devastate global food supply, drowning vast areas of crop lands across the Middle East and Asia, according to new research.

This is the good news. It is not too late and that is wonderful.
Even if emissions are slashed, there remains a 10% chance that sea level will rise significantly. This is the good news.

New research factors in collapsing Antarctic ice sheet that could double the sea-level rise to two metres by 2100 if emissions are not cut.
Nearly a quarter of green open spaces now breach laws on nitrogen dioxide pollution (the stuff that spews out of diesel exhausts).
Iceland, Greenland and Norwegian Svalbard offer plenty sensory stimulants, starting with the aurora borealis.
Land visitors to Iceland seeking seclusion should head west, where adventure ice cave “Into the Glacier” is open to the public.
It’s the coldest, largest desert of the world, but in growing numbers, tourists are making their way to Antarctica. Warmer air, less-frigid water, and gravity may combine to make parts of Antarctica’s western ice sheet melt far faster than scientists had thought.
Warmer air, less-frigid water, and gravity may combine to make parts of Antarctica’s western ice sheet melt far faster than scientists had thought, raising sea levels much more… New physics-based computer simulations forecast dramatic increases… That could raise sea levels in 2100 by 18 to 34 inches more than an international panel of climate scientists
