It's weak under-belly - the grounding line where the Ice Shelf sits on submerged mountains is a current cause of concern to heightened observation for scientists and glaciologists.
We know the Wilkings Ice Shelf has broken away 15 years ahead of previous (best guess) predictions.
How soon will the Rose Ice Shelf go? We will find out.
If anyone hadn't noticed it's getting warmer down under.
If in areas to be innundated should you move?
It's suggested in Chaper 7 with all the facts.

The current temperatures of 117 degrees in Australia with its huge fires and thus far 84 deaths is a future foretold!
Any one who disputes the facts is in denial......
And denial will kill us ALL...

onechance you might appreciate this video, its an excellent hour long presentation on the history of the denial.....
"Polls show that between one-third and one-half of Americans still believe that there is "no solid" evidence of global warming, or that if warming is happening it can be attributed to natural variability. Others believe that scientists are still debating the point. Join scientist and renowned historian Naomi Oreskes as she describes her investigation into the reasons for such widespread mistrust and misunderstanding of scientific consensus and probes the history of organized campaigns designed to create public doubt and confusion about science.

Antarctic Meltdown Would Flood Washington, D.C.

livescience.com – Thu Feb 5, 2:10 pm ETWashington, D.C., and other coastal U.S. cities could find themselves under several more feet of water than previously predicted if warming temperatures destroy the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, a new study based on a model predicts.
The West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) towers about 6,000 feet (1,800 meters) above sea level over a large section of Antarctica. It holds about 500,000 cubic miles (2.2 million cubic kilometers) of ice, about the same amount of ice contained in the Greenland Ice Sheet.
This vast swath of ice is the anchor for numerous glaciers that drain into the polar sea and is bounded by the Ross and Ronne Ice Shelves. Whether or when this ice sheet might melt is still very uncertain, but even a partial melt would have a bigger impact on some coastal areas than others.
The new research found that sea level rise would not be uniform around the globe, owing to odd gravitational effects and predicted shifts in the planet's rotation. continued on link above...

Sucks so bad. I can't believe some people still think climate change isn't real... Is it their Bibles? Fear? Comfortable complacency?
