The ice of the
Antarctic "is much more sensitive" to climate changes than estimated,
according to a scientific study which says that sea level could rise 20 meters
to the end of the century if this area, the West Antarctic and Greenland, were
to melt as in the Pliocene.
These are two of the
findings of an international study published in the journal Nature Geo science,
led by researchers from Imperial College London and Spanish participation.
