POTSDAM - Recent satellite observations have confirmed the accuracy of two independent computer simulations that show that the West Antarctic ice sheet has now entered a state of unstoppable collapse.

Although West Antarctica's fate is sealed, we may still be able to prevent the collapse of East Antarctica's marine ice sheet.

What is important is that we recognize the existence of gigantic parts of the earth's climate system - such as West Antarctica's three-quadrillion-ton ice sheet - that can be tipped when a fractional temperature rise occurs in key locations.
