Note that this is usually called the East Shackleton Ice Shelf so you'll find more technical details if you look for that. There's some discussion on Neven's Sea Ice Forums.
Is this a product of positive feedback loops?<p>I always thought we will never win climate change die to human nature incentives, I believe besides to adeguate is to mix water with compounds to store it someway or crazy idea, build hundreds of space elevators and move water out of planet earth, in orbit, on the moon or mars? Having a high enough throughput one could even lower water levels?<p>Actually there are estimated 159k km3 of ice, if one has a space elevator that put 2 m3 of ice per minute * 100 space elevators one can put 0.105 km3 out of earth at year.<p>To reduce/increase water level of 1 mm we need to store 360 km3 somewhere
