Experts split over climate danger to Antarctica

Scientists challenge 'cautious' UN report

Serious disagreement has broken out among scientists over a United 
Nations climate report's contention that the world's greatest 
wilderness - Antarctica - will be largely unaffected by rising world 
temperatures.

<snip>


Perhaps this is premature since the IPCC report hasn't been
officially released yet.  However, this article quotes Dr. Chris Rapley,
director of the British Antarctic Survey, and also Dr. John Turner of
the BAS.

Would our resident BAS person (or anybody else) care to comment
on this subject?
