Slate: Earth's polar regions are in the midst of a stunning transformation. As global warming accelerates, evidence of change is perhaps most obvious in our planet's ice. More than a decade ago, scientists watched in awe as Antarctica's Larsen B Ice Shelf shattered almost completely in just six weeks. No one had ever seen such a large mass of ice vanish so quickly. Now, a new study from NASA, released this week, predicts that what remains of Larsen B will be totally gone in less than five years. Since...

NASA finds Antarctic ice shelf a few years from disintegration

Reuters: The last intact section of one of Antarctica's mammoth ice shelves is weakening fast and will likely disintegrate completely in the next few years, contributing further to rising sea levels, according to a NASA study released on Thursday. The research focused on a remnant of the so-called Larsen B Ice Shelf, which has existed for at least 10,000 years but partially collapsed in 2002. What is left covers about 625 square miles (1,600 square km), about half the size of Rhode Island. Antarctica has...

"Passing the 400 mark reminds me that we are on an inexorable march to 450 ppm and much higher levels," said Michael Gunson, the head of NASA's global change and energy program.
