ITN Archive's video: Antarctic glaciers melted past point of no return - This is REAL Genius

A group of scientists from NASA, University of California Irvine and University of Washington have published research suggesting that the West Antarctic ice sheet has melted past the point of no return, and in the next couple of centuries could be directly responsible for sea level rises of several metres worldwide. Their findings were published in the journals Science and Geophysical Research Letters.
