Now, new research is highlighting another threat: Since 2000, moist and warm tendrils of air known as atmospheric rivers have been swirling toward the coast more frequently, bringing more rain and surface melting. Antarctica has been losing about 250 billion tons of ice annually in recent years, and research shows the rate has increased sixfold since 1979. At this pace, researchers have suggested, West Antarctica's ice shelves may reach climate tipping points and crumble, sending sea level rise surging well beyond current projections.

Display Ad Options
Option #1 Righthand thumbnail. This is the preferred option for most low cost ads. It adds some eye candy to the page yet doesn't interfere with the main reading content. Sample: [[File: Brutsche Niacmentes.jpg|thumb|120px|link=https://artappeal.store/|Sponsor-ArtAppeal.store]] Sponsor-ArtAppeal.store Estimated starting price while website has low traffic; $10 per month.
Option #2 Embedded ad. This would fit across the entire page and would be hard to avoid. This would be our more expense ad option which could be used at times on a limited number of pages.
Option #3 A page designated specifically to ads.
