[SustainableTompkins] Antarctic Shelf 'Hangs By A Thread'

[Rena D. Grossman]

I heard a short reference to the ice shelf's collapse on the radio on
my morning commute yesterday but had a really difficult time trying to
find any other news coverage. Here is a link to the BBC's article.

All reports that I have uncovered explain that this will not cause a
rise in sea levels, therefore, downplaying the implications of this
event. But can someone please explain what some of the real
implications are?

Thanks,

Rena
