        with all of our greenhouse gas emissions.....This is another
        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
