++ Escalating ice loss found in Antarctica.
While the overall loss is a tiny fraction of the miles-deep ice that covers much of Antarctica, scientists said the new finding is important because the continent holds about 90 percent of Earth's ice, and until now, large-scale ice loss there had been limited to the peninsula that juts out toward the tip of South America. In addition, researchers found that the rate of ice loss in the affected areas has accelerated over the past 10 years -- as it has on most glaciers and ice sheets around the world.
This is scary.
++ Related: Northeast winters warming fast.
++ Also: Last year among hottest on record.
++ McCain moves into lead; Obama gains on Clinton.
++ Although this poll still has Hillary with a double-digit lead over Obama, so who the fuck knows.
