Polar ice – 100Ks years of climate history.
Changed in a few human lifetimes?
As we heat the planet, ice sheets are pushed to melt irreversibly. But it gets trickier

The point of no return: New evidence shows Antarctic melting is already locked in
57 countries gathered in Santa Marta for the first-ever conference dedicated to transitioning away from fossil fuels, and here are three key takeaways from the closing plenary 🧵
🚨 It’s official: 2026 had the lowest annual maximum Arctic sea ice extent on record - essentially tied with last year’s record low.
Climate change is reshaping the Arctic, and it's all throughout the year.

Breaking: New study using observational constraints projects that the Atlantic Ocean circulation #AMOC will weaken ~50% by 2100, even for medium emissions and without Greenland melting. 🌊
More realistic models means stronger weakening - not entirely unexpected.

If all glaciers melt, sea level will rise by about 24cm. If the polar ice sheets melt, sea level will rise by more than 65m; almost 300 times more.
📣 Just out: our new study on the 'cold blob' in the Northern Atlantic. Is that due to ocean currents bringing less heat there, or due to more heat being lost through the sea surface?
Our data analysis strongly suggests it's due to #AMOC slowing. 🌊

Happy #EarthDay! 🌍
Today we are launching a white paper on Barriers to Glaciers-Related Financing.
As temperatures continue to rise, finance will be needed to respond to the impact of glacier loss on mountain 🗻 and water 🧊 ecosystems.

Arctic sea ice has reached its maximum extent for the year, at 14.29 million square kilometers (5.52 million square miles) on March 15, edging just below last year’s record and statistically tying for the lowest maximum in the 48-year satellite record. @cires.colorado.edu https://bit.ly/4sBUe95
Southern Florida could be underwater within centuries. A rare geological record from beneath the Ross Ice Shelf confirms the grim forecast.

The AMOC is under threat from human-caused climate change, as warming seas, melting ice and increased rainfall upset the temperature and salt balance of the North Atlantic.
