De-icing the Earth: a fatal decision Global ice is melting fast, with major sea level rise and extreme heat locked in unless emissions fall sharply. The window to act is closing.

Ice is Earth’s air conditioner. As glaciers and polar ice disappear, sea level rise, lethal heat and climate chaos accelerate – and the damage won’t stay at the poles, writes @JulianCribb

Northerly winds found to drive West Antarctic ice loss • Muser Press In a study published in Nature Geoscience, researchers from the University of Washington show that northerly winds, not westerlies, are the main force

New research in Nature Geoscience shows northerly winds, not westerlies, are driving West Antarctic #iceloss by trapping ocean heat and accelerating ice shelf melt.

Rapid loss of Antarctic ice may be climate tipping point, scientists say - Sight Magazine Rapid loss of Antarctic sea ice could be a tipping point for the global climate, a scientific study published on Thursday said.

Measuring How – And Where – Antarctic Ice Is Cracking With New Data Tool A total collapse of the roughly 80-mile-wide Thwaites Glacier, the widest in the world, would trigger changes that could lead to 11 feet of sea-level rise, according to scientists who study Antarctica. To better predict fractures that could lead to such a collapse — and to better understand the processes driving changes in Antarctic ice shelves...

Antarctica Just Lost a Greenland’s Worth of Ice — And That’s Not the Scariest Part A major shift is unfolding in the waters around Antarctica. Scientists have discovered that the Southern Ocean is getting much saltier — and fast. This change is allowing deep, hidden heat to rise and...

Uh-oh. A #BeforeAfter for Global #iceloss as June 2025 was added to the Lost Ice Stack Chart.
Looks like the biggest annual loss of ice globally this decade.

Updated to June 30 (Arctic sea ice) May 31 (Antarctic sea ice) & Mar 31 (Greenland & Antarctica). Glacier figure for 2024 updated this April.

Sea level will rise fast even if we limit global warming to 1.5°C Satellite observations show the ice sheets are melting faster than expected, and slowing sea level rise to a manageable rate would require lowering the global temperature below the current level
