'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."'

@Loukas @ChrisMayLA6 a follow up to our toots over the weekend.. this comment in #Guardian on exactly that subject from #AndrewMeijers who works at #BritishAntarcticSurvey talking about uncertainties of #ClimateChange on #SeaLevelRise and other things. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/aug/07/is-the-climate-crisis-finally-catching-up-with-antarctica-finding-the-answer-has-never-been-more-pressing

I was very sad to read that emeritus #BAS scientist #DavidVaughan died after short illness last week. He was always kind and encouraging to me personally and very good at communicating our science in general
