Antarctic temperature rises above 20C for first time on record

Scientists describe 20.75C logged at Seymour Island as ‘incredible and abnormal’

The Antarctic Ice Sheet stores water equivalent to 58m in global sea-level rise.

The CO2 emissions from available fossil fuel on Earth is enough to ultimately melt the entire Antarctic ice sheet.

Combustion of available fossil fuel resources sufficient to eliminate the Antarctic Ice Sheet

The Antarctic Ice Sheet stores water equivalent to 58 m in global sea-level rise. We show in simulations using the Parallel Ice Sheet Model that burning the currently attainable fossil fuel resources is sufficient to eliminate the ice sheet. With cumulative ...

Our consumption of fossil fuels implies an increasing loss of land.

Water levels will impact the future of our cities.
