Hansen starts by arguing that the ice melting on and around Greenland and Antarctica will【B1】______rises in sea level that are much faster than【B2】______predictions, meaning that we are likely to see several metres of sea-level rise this century. It is an argument that he has been making for a long time. Even more startling are the【B3】______that Hansen thinks will result【B4】______this rapid melt. Because fresh water is less【B5】______than saltwater, the cold, fresh meltwater will【B6】______around the coasts of Greenland and Antarctica.
Around Antarctica, this surface layer will act as a blanket, floating on top of warmer, saltier water and【B7】______it from losing heat to the air.【B8】______, this heat will go into melting the underside of ice shelves and glaciers. Hansen【B9】______that the growth in sea ice around Antarctica is a sign that this is starting to【B10】______already, with freshening surface water forming sea ice more【B11】______This freshwater layer will also【B12】______the currents that carry heat from the tropics to the poles, he argues, so the tropics will warm fast while high latitudes cool down because of the cold surface waters.

These claims do not reflect the views of most climate scientists. But here is the【B20】______message; we cannot be sure that Hansen is wrong.
【B1】
