accelerated loss of ice sheets in the Antarctic

From the express

Here for example is Dr Jay Zwally, the lead author of this week’s surprising Nasa study that confirms that the Antarctic is gaining far more ice than it is losing.

“I know some of the climate deniers will jump on this and say this means we don’t have to worry as much as some people have been making out. It should not take away from the concern about climate warming.”

I think the accelerated loss of ice sheets in the Antarctic is making these predictions difficult all around. I say we do nothing - surely evacuating London in the next fifty years will be cheaper than 25-metre high sea walls?

It's been decided to let nature takes it's course there and not spend any more on sea defences

Natura errosion will make house prices dive there without any global warming scare stories

I'm suprised anyone can find anyone guillable to buy there now

Apparently the Telegraph sub editors can't tell the difference between a year and a century.

If that goes ahead it will be interesting to see how many climb downs there will be.
