Scientists have reported significant melting of protective Antarctic ice shelves, resulting in the loss of trillions of tons of ice. The size of the global sea ice departure has reached its largest anomaly on record. Additionally, a study reveals that ice sheet surface melt is accelerating in Greenland while slowing in Antarctica. These findings highlight the urgent need to address the impact of climate change on polar ice and its potential consequences for global sea levels.

The size of the global sea ice departure (i.e., amount of missing ice compared to 1981-2010) has just reached the largest anomaly in our satellite record... ☹️ More figures at https://t.co/ecHYax1KfT. Data from @NSIDC. https://t.co/tFzYZJ7e2e

“If climate models are accurately capturing reality, then such a record is very highly unlikely (roughly 1 chance in 10,000)…we should also consider that this abrupt record may be due…to factors the current climate models are not accurately capturing” https://t.co/96IyHutlXn
