10、ease of up to 1.4 metres In the past decades the western Antarctic has seen rapid ice loss as the world has warmed, but the other parts of the continent have, paradoxically, been cooling, resulting in a 10% increase in ice in the seas around the region.

15、 contains 90% of the worlds ice, 70% of the worlds fresh water and that is enough, if it melts completely, to raise sea levels by 63 metres.” Even in a worse case situation scientists dont expect the ice to entirely disappear, but predict that, because of the melting ice sheets, average sea level ri
