Antarctic ice loss to continue through the century regardless of emissions cuts
Original: Antarctica will keep losing ice throughout this century, even if emissions are cut
New reporting says Antarctica will keep losing ice for the rest of this century even if greenhouse gas emissions are sharply reduced, with melt already locked in by past warming. The finding suggests sea-level rise from the continent's shrinking ice sheets is now largely unavoidable on those timescales, drawing attention to limits of near-term climate policy.
Why now: It signals that significant sea-level rise is already locked in, underlining the limits of emissions cuts.
