A recent study led by the University of Southampton reveals that Antarctica has been experiencing severe ice loss due to a combination of deep ocean heat, powerful winds, and a feedback loop that has destabilized the region, potentially leading to global consequences such as rising sea levels and accelerated warming. #Antarctica #ClimateChange #SeaIceMelting #AQ #AU #CL #NZ #US

'Triple whammy': Antarctica's sea ice collapse is no longer a mystery
Between 2002 and 2020, Antarctica lost roughly 149 billion metric tonnes of ice each year, according to NASA.
Scientists have finally identified the 'triple whammy' behind Antarctica's dramatic collapse, shedding new light on the chain reaction that has pushed its sea ice to record lows.
