Global Warming 5 Million Years Ago In Antarctic Drastically Raised Sea Levels

Posted by samzenpus on from the how-deeps-the-water-momma? dept.

An anonymous reader writes "As temperatures rise, scientists continue to worry about the effects of melting Antarctic ice, which threatens to raise sea levels and swamp coastal communities. This event, though, isn't unprecedented.
