Want to drown your ancestors? Just keep on wasting energy and burning fossil fuels! Notable quotes: ... the region was vulnerable to melting because it’s held in place by a small “ice plug” that may melt over the next few centuries,... The researchers conducted simulations under scenarios with waters that were 1 to 2.5°C warmer than what they are today, and the study’s authors said there was still time to limit warming enough to keep the plug in place. However, the planet is on track to hit 2°C if major steps to curb climate change aren’t taken, and already much of the globe’s warming has been absorbed by the oceans. thinkprogress.org/climate/2014/05/05/3433981/antarctic-melting-sea-levels/
