Another ice is melting oceans will rise thousands of feet, think of the children boo-hoo story.

[My Model Says]

Could, might, may, appears. All bullshit tell words when used
by scientists.

This story has been updated.

A hundred years from now, humans may remember 2014 as the year
that we first learned that we may have irreversibly destabilized
the great ice sheet of West Antarctica, and thus set in motion
more than 10 feet of sea level rise.

Meanwhile, 2015 could be the year of the double whammy — when we
learned the same about one gigantic glacier of East Antarctica,
which could set in motion roughly the same amount all over
again. Northern Hemisphere residents and Americans in particular
should take note — when the bottom of the world loses vast
amounts of ice, those of us living closer to its top get more
sea level rise than the rest of the planet, thanks to the law of
gravity.

The findings about East Antarctica emerge from a new paper just
out in Nature Geoscience by an international team of scientists
representing the United States, Britain, France and Australia.
They flew a number of research flights over the Totten Glacier
of East Antarctica — the fastest-thinning sector of the world’s
largest ice sheet — and took a variety of measurements to try to
figure out the reasons behind its retreat. And the news wasn’t
good: It appears that Totten, too, is losing ice because warm
ocean water is getting underneath it.

“The idea of warm ocean water eroding the ice in West
Antarctica, what we’re finding is that may well be applicable in
East Antarctica as well,” says Martin Siegert, a co-author of
the study and who is based at the Grantham Institute at Imperial
College London.

These words are used by scientists to indicate a lack of certainty.
Scientific ignoramuses have no such scruples and love to state their
opinions as fact.
