A warming of about 4 C, to which we may be committed in less than 50 years, would result in an ice-free Artic Ocean which will not only devastate arctic ecosystems, but will further climate change and weather. A warming of this extent could also begin an irreversible disintegration of the West Antarctic ice sheets which would result, within a few hundred years, in a further rise in sea level by at least 6 meters. ... Warmer temperatures, rise in sea level, changes in precipitation and water availability, altered storm patterns, and changes in growing seasons are all implications of the gr...
