Antarctic Ice Sheet

The United Nations weather agency is reporting that glaciers shrank more than ever from 2011 and 2020 and the Antarctic ice sheet lost 75 percent more compared to the previous ten years, as it released its latest stark report about the fallout on the planet from climate change.

The loss will contribute a minimum rise of 27 centimetres regardless of what climate action is taken, scientists say.
