The sky is fall … Oops. Iceberg might melt!

If weather in Antarctica gets, like, really, really warm.

“Warmer waters in this area could, therefore, ultimately be even more damaging than what’s happening in West Antarctica — and the total amount of ice that could someday be lost would raise sea levels by as much as 13 feet.”

(Two uses of “could” does not equal one “will.”)

And: “(V)ast regions of the Totten Glacier in East Antarctica are fundamentally unstable.” WE HAVE BEEN WARMED! Uh, WARNED. Of something.
