Terrifying Antarctic Ice Scenario: The World is Melting
Unstoppable melting poses a global catastrophe
“The word ‘unprecedented’ is an understatement; this is utterly shocking.”
By August time each year, there would typically be about 16.4m square kilometers of Antarctic sea ice. But this week, there was just 14.1m sq km. An area greater than Mexico still needs to freeze. As climate change starts to cause chaos worldwide, many are growing worried about the implications of our destructive actions.
“It lies far beyond our comprehension of this system’s behaviour, and the implications are dire for the entire planet.”

In light of these off-the-chart numbers, scientists call for a different conversation. It is unlike anything scientists have ever seen.
