As Glaciers Melt, Science Seeks Data on Rising Seas

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/14/science/earth/14ice.html?pagewanted=2&ref=science

Antarctica and Greenland's glaciers are melting at rapid rates, faster than scientists have ever predicted. This could really effect countries around the world including coastal regions in America. It could put places like New York, New Orleans, and Miami at risk for routine flooding or parts of them become permanently inundated. The scientists biggest fear isn't really how fast these glaciers will melt, but whether humans will be able to adjust in time for them to rise and take the necessary precautions.

The article isn't really bias at all. He just presents the facts as it is and provides scientists with their input on what is going on. The article could be considered pro environmentalist though because the author writes it in a way that concerns the reader and makes them realize that global warming could effect them in ways they haven't really thought of.
