New work from an international team including Carnegie's Ken Caldeira demonstrates that the planet's remaining fossil fuel resources would be sufficient to melt nearly all of Antarctica if burned, leading to a 50- or 60-meter (160 to 200 foot) rise in sea level. Because so many major cities are at or near sea level, this would put many highly populated areas where more than a billion people live under water, including New York City and Washington, DC. It is published in Science Advances.

Washington Crossing the Delaware
by David Schulman (1936)

A hard, howling, tossing water scene:
Strong tide was washing hero clean.
"How cold!" Weather stings as in anger.
O Silent night shows war ace danger!

The cold waters swashing on in rage.
Redcoats warn slow his hint engage.
When star general's action wish'd "Go!"
He saw his ragged continentals row.

Ah, he stands - sailor crew went going,
And so this general watches rowing.
He hastens - winter again grows cold;
A wet crew gain Hessian stronghold.

George can't lose war with's hands in;
He's astern - so, go alight, crew, and win!

PIZZA

PIZZA

Pizza was Sam's favorite, she just loved the taste
   of it. She'd eat it morning, noon, and night. She
      relished every single bite. She ate it topped
        with pepperoni, mozzarella and bologna.
         Spinach, mushrooms, peppers, too. She
           even tried it with bamboo. Every day
             she ate and ate; box by box, plate
                 by plate.   She ate one in the
                     time it took for another
                      one to cook. She was
                        sick & tried to stop.
                            But it was too
                               late . . . for
                                she went
                                    pop
                                       !
