"A regime shift has reduced Antarctic sea-ice extent far below its natural variability of past centuries, and in some respects is more abrupt, non-linear and potentially irreversi

Antarctic sea ice might be one of those tipping points within the Earth's system, warned Australian Antarctic Division head scientist Nerilie Abram. Her statement reflects a new scientific perspective: the rapid decline of Antarctic sea ice is greater than a regional anomaly but a potential catalyst for irreversible global climate alterations.

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that new research warns of potentially irreversible changes in Antarctica. Accelerating ice melt could raise sea levels by meters, amplifying global warming and threatening habitability in some regions.

A California sheriff's office shared photos of a bear that broke into an ice cream parlor and helped itself to some strawberry ice cream behind the counter.
