Rising sea levels and melting polar ice-sheets are at upper limits of projections, leaving some human population centers already unable to cope, top world scientists say as they analyze latest satellite data.A United Nations report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in February projected sea level gains of 18-59 centimeters (7-

The warming most global climate models predict will do more harm than simply raise the sea levels that most observers fear. It will make drastic changes in fragile ecosystems throughout the world, especially in the Antarctic.

The long-term stability of the massive ice sheets of Antarctica, which have the potential to raise sea levels by hundreds of metres, has been called into question with the discovery of fast-moving rivers of water sliding beneath their base. The discovery raises fresh questions about the speed at which sea levels might rise

Dr. Dornan's study points to an average cooling of 0.7 degrees per decade from 1986 to 2000. Estimates from British data since 1966, indicate cooling trend since that date. Josephino Comiso, from 1979 to 1999, reported a drop in the continent's average temperature of 0.4 degrees per decade. As ice sheets thicken, the Ross Ice Shelf may thin and bre
