Antarctic Ice Melt Could Raise the Sea Level Dangerously

Ice melting from Antarctica could drive more than 3.5 feet (1.1 meters) in global sea level rise by 2100 without action to curb greenhouse emissions, according to new research.

The findings, published in the journal Nature, paint a grim picture of cities across the global inundated with water, and melting ice from Antartica only represents one source of sea level rise.
