Rapid Sea-Level Rise Soon from West Antarctic Ice-Sheet Collapse?

There has been recent concern over whether shrinkage of ice sheets in Antarctica caused by climate change could lead to rapid global sea-level rise. In his Perspective, Bentley discusses the processes at work in ice-sheet behavior and concludes that, in view of the evidence for ice-sheet stability,...
