Hundreds of glaciers in the Antarctic peninsula are flowing faster, adding to a rise in sea levels, British experts said on Tuesday as they pointed the finger of blame at global warming. In a study coincidentally released on the eve of the Group of Eight (G8) summit, the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) reported a 12-percent increase in the speed of over 300 glaciers monitored by satellite between 1993 and 2003.
