Possible new global warming-related problem in Antarctica

When you hear about a Texas-sized piece of ice thinning, that’s officially serious.
[Scientists] said “surprisingly rapid changes” were occurring in Antarctica's Amundsen Sea Embayment, which faces the southern Pacific Ocean, but that more study was needed to know how fast it was melting and how much it could cause the sea level to rise.

Will even this wake up the Bush Administration? Nahhhh. But, at worse case, this could probably raise world ocean levels by a few inches, not millimeters or even a centimeter or two.
