BBC: Sea levels are likely to rise by about 1.4m (4ft 6in) globally by 2100 as polar ice melts, according to a major review of climate change in Antarctica.
Conducted by the International Council for Science–Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR), the report says that warming seas are accelerating melting in the west of the continent.
The report – Antarctic Climate Change and the Environment – was written using contributions from 100 leading scientists in various disciplines, and reviewed by a further 200.
