Friendly reminder:
We still don't know how fast sea level is going to rise, but our previous estimates have been far too cautious, thus- wrong.
New work says we may be seeing climate-induced sea level rise earlier, or more, than expected.

"We were expecting to get into this shear, but we never did," The bottom of the ice was moving just as fast as the top, because it was sliding on mud. If this finding holds up and is true of other ice streams, it suggests streams are pushing more ice into the ocean and flow could readily speed up.
