Icecap flood fears 'unfounded' BY MICHAEL HANLON SCIENCE EDITOR CLAIMS that global warming will melt polar ice caps and flood much of Britain have been wildly exaggerated, according to researchers in Australia. They say sea level rise in the next 100 years will amount to "a few tens of centimetres" at the most. Far from shrinking, the polar ice caps could actually increase in size, as higher temperatures lead to increased snowfall, claims the Antarctic Co-operative Research Centre. Using computer models, researchers have calculated the most likely effect of warming on existing ice sheets. They concluded that even if some of the floating ice sheets were to melt completely, it would have little effect on sea levels. The scientists say that if global warming continues, a sea level rise of one or two metres could be expected "in the next few thousand years". A CRC statement said: "In the shorter term - that is, over the next century or two - it is expected that there will be relatively little melting of the ice-sheets." A recent Climate Impacts Programme, sponsored by the British Government, predicted that sea level would rise by 20 inches in the next 50 years, flooding large areas of low-lying land in southern England.lIceland supermarket chain has blacklisted Hotpoint because the firm refused to supply them with fridge-freezers which more efficiently reduce the rate of global warming. � Express Newspapers, 2000 **COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U.
