East Antarctica can indeed collapse, and moreover, can do so in
conditions not too dissimilar from those we're creating today

piece of a jigsaw puzzle that the community is rapidly putting
together, and which appears to show that the ice sheets are more
sensitive to warming than we had hoped. If humans continue to
warm the climate, we are likely to commit to large and perhaps
rapid sea-level rise that could be very costly. No one piece of
the puzzle shows this, but as they fit together, the picture is
becoming clearer. <a
