"Oh Shit" says reporter, time REALLY Is Running Out to Cut Emissions - How about 100% U.S. reduction by 2020!

Coal plant mornatorium is "the most critical action for saving the planet at this time" NASA climatologist James Hansen told Congress.

On March 6th, 2008 about 160 sq. miles of an ice shelf, about 1200 feet thick, broke off Antarctica. This ice was already floating so this won't make seas go up right away, but it makes it more likely that the rest of the Western Antarctic Ice Shelf (WAIS) will collapse sooner causing 20 to 50 feet of sea level rise.

Disastrous sea level rises possible this century unless we act now. The rise could be up to 80 feet according to the August 25 story on Hansen in Toronto Globe and Mail

Hansen's article concludes that "[I]ce sheets will respond in a non-linear fashion to global warming --- and are already beginning to do so. There is enough information now, in my opinion, to make it a near certainty that business-as-usual [emissions] scenarios will lead to disastrous multi-metre sea level rise on the century time scale." article
