Antarctic ice loss speeding up
Description: A comprehensive study of Antarctica's ice confirms that the polar cap is shrinking. In 2006 alone, Antarctica lost nearly 200 billion tonnes of ice, researchers say - the equivalent of a global sea level rise of more than half a millimetre. That's 75% more than losses in 1996, they add. [Source: Nature]
