According to a new report led by the U.S. Geological Survey, the U.S.
"faces the possibility of much more rapid climate change by the end of
the century than previous studies have suggested." The report,
commissioned by the U.S. Climate Change Science Program, found that
global sea levels could rise higher than a 2007 U.N. Intergovernment
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) study had concluded:

In one of the report's most worrisome findings, the agency
estimates that in light of recent ice sheet melting, global sea levels
could rise as much as 4 feet by 2100. The intergovernment panel had
projected a rise of no more than 1.5 feet by that time, but satellite
data over the last two years show the world's major ice sheets are
melting much more rapidly than previously thought. The Antarctic and
Greenland ice sheets are losing an average of 48 cubic miles of ice a
year, equivalent to twice the amount of ice in the Alps.
