"However, its conclusions do agree with previous research in the region, he told the Science Media Center, giving “confidence that this study needs to be taken in consideration for policymakers.”"
"Naughten and her colleagues acknowledged their study has limits — predicting future rates of melting in West Antarctica is very complex and it’s impossible to account for every possible future outcome. But, looking at the range of scenarios, the report authors said they were confident the melting of ice shelves is now unavoidable."
It's also pretty terrible for all the people not living in coastal areas, because people living in coastal areas will not want to live under water.
It's pretty much lose-lose.
Poor people will stand up and walk inland.
The rich will do anything they can to convince everyone else to pay for their property losses
From the article:
"West Antarctica is already the continent’s largest contributor to global sea level rise and has enough ice to raise sea levels by an average of 5.3 meters, or more than 17 feet. It’s home to the Thwaites Glacier, also known as the “Doomsday glacier,” because its collapse could raise sea levels by several feet, forcing coastal communities and low-lying island nations to either build around sea level rise or abandon these places"
If it rests on land, it's not an iceberg, is it?
Unfortunately said space will be peoples communities.
