Fresh Analysis Points to Potential for Rising Seas

Fresh Analysis Points to Potential for Rising Seas: "After a fresh analysis, scientists today warned again that global warming is threatening the stability of fragile glacier systems in the Antarctic and could lead to sea level increases worldwide.

The Antarctic region where an ice shelf known as Larsen B is found is warming faster than any other place on the planet, said Eugene Domack, a geology professor at Hamilton College.

This regional warming is disrupting natural cycles in the ebb and flow of the glacier systems that have been occurring for thousands of years.

'Which then says, okay, if this is unprecedented, maybe this is [human-caused] warming rather than some natural cycle,' Domack told LiveScience. 'Overall, this seems to fit the pattern that we would predict from global warming.'"
