New research links Antarctic ice loss to greenhouse gas emissions
A new study has provided the first concrete evidence linking ice loss from the West Antarctic ice sheet with the emission of greenhouse gases, raising serious concerns over sea level rises. The West Antarctic ice sheet in the Amundsen Sea is already one of the biggest and fastest contributors to the world’s rising sea levels, and if it completely melted, would further raise sea levels by up to 3 metres.
