"Scientists Express Concern About How Stable the East and West Antarctic Ice Sheets May Be," N.C. Wilson, pp. 1, 6-7. Summarizes the latest understanding based largely on a recent workshop at Woods Hole.

"Greenhouse Warming Could Pop the Cork on a Bottled-Up East Antarctic Ice Sheet," p. 2. Transcription of an interview with Terence J. Hughes (Univ. of Maine). In a worst case scenario, Memphis, Tenn. would be a deep-sea port, Florida would be under water, and 98% of the U.S. population would have to be relocated.
