Has the collapse of the Western Antarctic continental ice cap begun?

This news was on NBC’s broadcast just this evening: http://www.nbcnews.com/science/environm ... ng-n103221

I think I erred in posting this topic in this section of the forum. It would have been better placed in the Breaking Science News section.

Well, I don't know. It seems to have been spoken of for decades, so it's not really breaking news. From what was said, it may have speeded up a little, but we don't have a thread for speeded up a little, news. So I suppose here is about as good a place as any, when ya get right down to it. Not to worry Bruce, your decendants, if any, will also receive updates on the situation in the Centuries to come, as will everyone else's.

I do believe it just got moved. I guess the news was more broken than I thought.
