since 1950, on the antarctica peninsula, the air has warmed 2.5 degrees celsius. warming ocean waters erode the west antarctic ice sheets from below as the warming air melts them from above. once the ice shells melt back, you have the loss of the buttress effect, and the ice sheet on land can then accelerate with that buttress effect diminished more rapidly into the sea, causing a more rapid rise in sea level. the effect of this is actually measurable, and we measure it. observations from the nasa and german aerospace centers' twin gravity recovery and climate experiment satellites measure these losses to be around 125 gigatons of ice per year. well, what's a gigaton of ice? a gigaton is one billion tons. meredith nettles of the lemont-doherty earth observatory at columbia university described a gigaton-sized piece of ice this way. i quote her -- if you took the whole national mall -- here we are in washington. if you took the whole national mall and covered it up with ice to a height around four times as high as the washington monument. so imagine you have walked out here on the the capitol steps. you're loo
