New science direct from NASA press teleconference says observations (not models) show melting of major Antarctic glaciers "unstoppable" due to climate change. Plus eminent climate scientist Kevin Trenberth predicts strong El Nino impacts on world weather.

Gasp! Antarctica is melting. Coastal cities at risk. New science direct from NASA.
Plus eminent climate scientist Kevin Trenberth predicts strong El Nino impacts on world weather.
There is huge news from the Antarctic. Scientists fears that those glaciers will melt, lifting global sea levels above the streets of many world coastal cities - have been verified by two studies.
Later in the program, you will hear an excellent interview of top climate scientists Kevin Trenberth, conducted by Peter Sinclair.
But right now we're going to bypass the mainstream media machine to hear from the NASA scientists who say the melt of one Antarctic glacier set is now "unstoppable". We don't often get such certainty from science, or large government agencies.
This is a moment to gasp, just like the record Arctic sea ice melt of 2007. The planet has undeniably and unmistakably been altered. It's a major tipping point crossed. Even without the Greenland Ice melt, the Antarctic glaciers will reshape the geography of land for all conceivable generations to come. Redraw the maps, and realize humans will eventually withdraw from mega-cities ranging from New York to China, a retreat from the sea by millions of people, from trillions of dollars in assets. That's what this is about.
Here is an edited-for-radio replay of the NASA press conference held May 12th for the media.
