Aslak Grinsted has a nice compilation of some other recent papers on evidence
for WAIS collapse during the last interglacial: http://www.glaciology.net/Home/Miscellaneous-Debris/waiscollapseduringthelastinterglacial
As a central estimate, the average spring warming trend of the four datasets shown in Table 3
for WAIS since 1979 is 0.54 °C / decade.
The average central trend estimate of the four datasets
for WAIS is 0.18 °C / decade for the annual mean.
Trends for 1979 - present (Table 3)
for the WAIS and WA domains show a marked seasonal contrast, with the largest amplitude in spring, the only season when trends are statistically significant.
The absence of large negative anomalies in the 1990s for the annual WAIS timeseries implies that the sign of the temperature trend
for WAIS is less sensitive to start dates of the analysis than for EAIS and all Antarctica.
Recent observations of unpredicted, local acceleration and consequent loss of mass from both ice sheets (Alley et al., 2005) underscores the inadequacy of existing ice - sheet models, leaving no generally agreed basis for projection, particularly
for WAIS (Lemke et al., 2007 Section 4.6.3.3; Meehl et al., 2007 Sections 10.6.4.2 and 10.7.4.4; Vieli and Payne, 2005).
The Cosgrove Ice Shelf doesn't provide major drainage today
for WAIS as it did earlier in the Holocene epoch, but it still has lessons to teach scientists about how outlet glaciers can react when exposed to warmer deep water, she added.
Apart from these last concerns, the WAIS is much less worrying than the GIS, because the huge thermal inertia and albedo effect of the EAIS, the antarctic continent itself, and the large amount of antarctic sea ice in the southern winter, all act to reduce the degree of warming
for the WAIS (whereas the GIS is the victim of various unfortunate circumstances which amplify warming there).
[Insert, May 14, 12:00 p.m. Joughin sent this followup thought today: In defense of collapse, if I say, «The collapse of the Roman Empire,» you all pretty much understand what I mean and am talking about about a timescale similar to
that for the WAIS.
For WAIS, the culprit for the rapid thinning of ice shelves is increased delivery of warm ocean water to the base of the ice shelves.
As on the Peninsula, there is evidence of anthropogenic forcing
for the WAIS too: anomalous conditions since the 1980s in the tropical Pacific are characteristic of the expected fingerprint of global warming (e.g. Trenberth and Hoar, 1997; Collins et al., 2010).
These data are the accumulation rate history

Physical punishment is associated with a range of mental health problems in children, youth and adults, including depression, unhappiness, anxiety, feelings of hopelessness, use of drugs and alcohol, and general psychological maladjustment.26 — 29 These relationships may be mediated by disruptions in parent — child attachment resulting from pain inflicted by a caregiver, 30,31 by increased levels of cortisol32 or by chemical disruption of the brain's mechanism
for regulating stress.33 Researchers are also finding that physical punishment is linked to slower cognitive development and adversely affects academic achievement.34 These findings come from large longitudinal studies that control
for a wide range of potential confounders.35 Intriguing results are now emerging from neuroimaging studies, which suggest that physical punishment may reduce the volume of the brain's grey matter in areas associated with performance on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, third edition (
WAIS - III).36 In addition, physical punishment can cause alterations in the dopaminergic regions associated with vulnerability to the abuse of drugs and alcohol.37

The warming of the
