Seas Might Rise Several Yards Over the Next Several Centuries
- "Many polar and ice experts said the new study, to be published today in the journal Science, suggested that seas might rise as much as several yards over the next several centuries. They called that prospect a slow-motion disaster, the cost of which in lost shorelines, salt in water supplies, and damaged ecosystems would be borne by many future generations." -excerpt from the New York Times article, Study of Antarctic Points to Rising Sea Levels," by Andrew C. Revkin, 3/07/2003. See article, free registration required, at http://nytimes.com/2003/03/07/science/07WARM.html
