There's an article in the Jan 14 addition of the Washington Post, front page:

Head line; ESCALATING ICE LOSS FOUND IN ANTARCTICA

First paragraph: Climactic changes appear to be destablizing vast sheets of western Antarctica that had previously seemed relatively protected from global warming, researchers reported yesterday, raising the prospect of faster sea-level rise than current estimates.

The article is too long to print it all out, but if this is true along with what's happening in Greenland, the earth could be in for a vast change, maybe not in our lifetime, but at some point our world could be inundated. This is not a myth or a government conspiracy.
