Antarctic glaciers melting twice as fast as previously estimated

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA: Shifting winds are dragging warm water currents around the Antarctic coastline forcing ice to melt and sea levels to rise twice as faster than previously thought, according to new Australian research revealed on Tuesday.

Scientists from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) found the warm water can be 4 degrees warmer than the cold water it displaces and has serious consequences for rising global sea levels which will reshaping coastlines.
