Polar ice caps melting faster

"THE ice caps are melting so fast that the world's oceans are rising more than twice as fast as they were in the 1970s, scientists have found.They have used satellites to track how the oceans are responding as billions of gallons of water reach them from melting ice sheets and glaciers.The effect is compounded by thermal expansion, in which water expands as it warms, according to the study by Anny Cazenave of the National Centre for Space Studies in France."
