Few scientists doubt the prediction that the antropogenic release of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will lead to some warming of the earth's climate. So there is good reason to investigate the possible effects of such a warming, in dependence of geographical and social economic setting. Many bodies, governmental or not, have organized meetings and issued reports in which the carbon dioxide problem is defined, reviewed, and possible threats assessed. The rate at which such reports are produced still increases. However, while more and more people are getting involved in the 'carbon dioxide business', the number of investigators working on the basic problems grows, in our view, too slowly. Many fundamental questions are still not answered in a satisfactory way, and the carbon dioxide building rests on a few thin pillars. One such fundamental question concerns the change in sea level associated with a climatic warming of a few degrees. A number of processes can be listed that could all lead to changes of the order of tens of centimeters (e. g. thermal expansion, change in mass balance of glaciers and ice sheets). But the picture of the carbon dioxide problem has frequently be made more dramatic by suggesting that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is unstable, implying a certain probability of a 5 m higher sea-level stand within a few centuries.

This article discusses the history of the West Antarctic ice sheet including the amount of ice that has been lost by the ice sheet since the last glacial maximum 20,000 years ago, whether the sheets fringing ice shelves or its marine base make it inherently unstable, and whether the ice sheet was ever smaller during glacial minimums than it is today. Using evidence from diatoms identified from samples of the bed extracted from underneath 1000 meters of ice, it has been determined that during at least one recent minimum there was no ice at all in the present interior of West Antarctica. A recent reconstruction of the ice sheet in the Ross ice shelf during the last glacial maximum is discussed. The volcanic record suggests that a the West Antarctic ice sheet first appeared approximately 9 million years ago. Mass input to the West Antarctic ice sheet, mass budgets beneath the ice shelves and coupled atmosphere-ocean-ice global circulation models (GCM) are considered. Public education regarding ice sheet issues through the West Antarctic Ice Sheet program is considered.
