The researchers warn the faster melting could destabilize the entire West Antarctic Ice sheet, leading to its eventual collapse.

    Brb guys. Gonna go to 7-11, buy 5 bags of ice, and throw the ice in the ocean. That should do it, right?

    Oh sweet! I have been reading the mars trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson and now I get to see the perspective from earth of all the glaciers melting and the sea level rising massively!
