Antarctica, Said to have been Around for Million of Years, Might Melt

   It is said, Antarctica is more than 30 million years old, yet, with global warming now threatening it, it could soon pass through a "point of no return."

   And, melt away. 

   So suggests a new study in the journal Nature.

   Whether this is bad -- off top, we would say it is -- I do not know. Though I know the melting ice means rising sea levels, and retreating coast lines, and buried islands, and changes in our ecosystem. And, therein is havoc. Still, I wonder. I do not know.
