Antarctica's Sea Ice is Deceptively Growing
Brendan I. Koerner, The Green Lantern | June 4, 2008
Since the late 70s, scientists have observed that the size of Polar South’s sea ice is expanding. ++ At a first glance, this could be mistaken for a positive development, however, other readings have shown that inland ice is melting at much more rapid rates. ++ This, coupled with the melting of earth’s four largest glaciers and cataclysmic melting of the Arctic, could still lead to a marked rise in our planet’s sea levels. ++ Although partly a natural phenomenon, human emissions have undoubtedly contributed to this growing threat.
