I do not believe people will care about this until it is too late. It is so sad to watch how the majority of the population ignores it, and the elite believe they will escape unscathed from this mess.

Edit: Are there any estimates of the total impact of ice caps melting in the Northern and Southern hemispheres?

Honest question: Where is 'west' Antartica?

It’s the half that’s west (that is, toward 90 degrees) of the Trans Antarctic Mountains. I agree and was curious too, kind of a funny deal.

You can think of "West Antarctica" as being "west" in the sense that it is located primarily in the western hemisphere, and likewise "East Antarctica" is mostly in the eastern hemisphere.
