This is a "sign of global warming acceleration in Antarctica" and while it will not immediately rise sea levels, it will lead to the rising.

Antarctic Ice Shelf Will Collapse

Global warming is about to talke its toll. A giant Antarctic ice shelf which is the size of half of Scotland is very close to collapsing.

The cause is indeed, global warming. Let's hope at least this will open the eyes of many to take action to save the environment before it is too late.

The Wilkins ice shelf will not immediately raise the sea level because ice floats on water.

We will watch over the next few days for any updates on this story.
