When will the Antarctic ice sheet collapse? – Earth.com…

In a recent breakthrough study involving more than 50 global climate researchers, we now have a clearer projection of how carbon emissions may influence the degeneration of Antarctica’s ice sheet over the next three centuries... earth.com #antarctica #icesheets #icesheetcollapse #globalwarming #climatechange #westantarctica #glaciers #climatescience #carbonemissions

Antarctic #octopus DNA reveals #IceSheetCollapse closer than thought

"geographically-isolated populations of the sea creatures mated freely around 125,000 years ago, signaling an ice-free corridor during a period when global temperatures were similar to today. The findings suggest the #WestAntarcticIceSheet is closer to collapse than previously thought"

West Antarctic Ice Sheet collapse is 'unavoidable' — study – DW – 10/24/2023

Ice sheets have in the past collapsed at rate of 600metres a day…that’s 20 times faster than previously thought. It means ice scientists thought might take 200 years to melt, could actually be gone in 20 years. That has serious implications for sea level rise and anyone living on or near the coast.
