====Studies indicate that in the Eemian about 125,000 years ago, for instance, temperatures were slightly higher than now, hippopotamuses bathed in the Rhine –and seas were 4 meters higher.====
Exactly. And what caused that warming? Wnad what could have been done to stop or excelerate it?

Yet there’s something peculiar going on in the oceans around Antarctica: even as global air and ocean temperatures march upward, the extent of the sea ice around the southern continent isn’t decreasing. In fact, it’s increasing.
