NASA Study Shows Antarctic Ice Sheet Shrinking

A recently released NASA study has shown that [a href="http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=scienceNews&storyid=2006-03-03T053817Z_01_N02437593_RTRUKOC_0_US-ENVIRONMENT-ANTARCTIC.xml"]the Antarctic ice shelf is shrinking at an alarming rate[/a] of 36 cubic miles per year. The study, run from April 2002 to August 2005, indicates that the melting accounted for 1.2 millimeters of global sea level rise for the period.

From the article: 'That's about how much water the United States consumes in three months and represents a change of about 0.4 millimeter (0.01575 inch) per year to global sea level rise', the study concluded. The study claims the majority of the melting to have occurred in the West Antarctic ice sheet.

And the naysayers said the movie "Day After Tomorrow" was an unrealistic movie.....

Moral of the story....your local public library is your best bet at safety...where but a library can one have a large amount of paper and woodwork to feed a fire?
