    ...not all the #ice will return.👈

    “The impacts of #Antarctic #SeaIce staying low for over twenty years would be profound, including on local and global weather,” #LouiseSime, a co-author on the #BAS [#BritishAntarcticSurvey] study, said in a statement."

    "👉The #ThwaitesGlacier in #WestAntarctica — nicknamed the “#DoomsdayGlacier” because its collapse could cause catastrophic sea level rise👈 — is ...

    ...catastrophe for the world’s coastal communities."

    "....we have solid observations of what is going on.”

    "In a separate study, also published Monday, researchers from the #BritishAntarcticSurvey looked at the reasons for the record low levels of sea ice surrounding Antarctica last year...used #ClimateModels to predict the potential speed of recovery from such extreme sea ice loss and found that 👉even after two decades,...

  10. CW: 📰 Klimaforskere om isens hastige smelten: Dette vanvid kan og må ikke fortsætte
    > »Nu er det nok. Det er tid at trække en streg i sneen: I lyset af hvad vi har lært om kryo­sfæren, siden Paris­aftalen blev vedtaget i 2015, er 1,5 grader ikke blot at foretrække frem for to grader. Det er den eneste mulighed.«

  11. 'Lead author Dr Kaitlin Naughten, a researcher at the British Antarctic Survey says:

    “It looks like we’ve lost control of melting of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. If we wanted to preserve it in its historical state, we would have needed action on climate change decades ago."'

  12. “It also does not change forecasts that the #collapse of the shelf & the #glacier it is part of would lead to about 2’ of rise over several centuries.

    “The research ‘is telling us a lot more about the processes that drive retreat on #Thwaites,’ said one of the scientists, Peter E.D. Davis, an oceanographer w/the #BritishAntarcticSurvey. The findings, published Wednesday in the journal #Nature, will be used to refine models….”
