'The climate is changing...' said Xavier Fettweis, a climatologist at the University of Liège in Belgium.

, and is widely considered one of the most pressing issues of our time.

Last month, scientists urged world leaders to take urgent action to tackle climate change, as"abrupt" and"irreversible" climate tipping points that threaten human civilization Tipping points are thresholds that, once passed, can trigger rapid changes to climate systems. These were first described by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change two decades ago. At that time it was thought they would likely happen if global warming exceeded-industrial levels by 5 C. But since then, new research has indicated the events could happen even with 1 C to 2 C of warming, the scientists said.

If this area collapses, the remaining West Antarctic ice sheets could be destabilized,"leading to about 3 meters [9.8 feet] of sea-level rise on a timescale of centuries to millennia," according to a prediction cited by the authors. The Wilkes Basin on the East Antarctic could face a similar fate, and the Greenland ice sheet could be"doomed" at 1.5 C of warming as soon as 2030.Cove in Hughes Bay, Graham Land, Antarctica.

SaleemulHuq Am I the only person on Earth who sees how easily it could be re frozen? If humanity can't make ice in the arctic WTF?

Oh I see emergency.. No temperature rise almost yet we are going to die?

one thousand and five hundred innocent people killed by Iran's regime and you lied to the world about the dictator of Iran

“We”? Really? I am not from Antarctica!

Do something, anti-science GOP! Moronic President Sharpie has claimed that global warming was a Chinese hoax. Are you all trying to bring on the end of the world? You're that confident you're going to heaven, despite following almost nothing Jesus preached? ClimateEmergency

Well, that's terrifying. These people have no clue what's about to hit them. All I can suggest is pay off as much debt as you can right now so you can live comfortably. Get and stay healthy to avoid getting sick. Buy the things you need right now. Stock up on food.

Alarming but keep the info in the mainstream 💚

'Data suggests' o.k. Really What are 'normal' ice levels!? Maybe we'll finally get to find our what's underneath all the ice? Atlantis? A secret civilization? Aliens? Something's under the ice, when will we be told what it is?

oh nice change

Greta is not unuseless. Climate is a real emergency. We all need a new deal for the planet.redalarm

jonarnesen you know its summer down there now right? meanwhile, we had a 'science ship' stuck in the non excising arctic sea for a few weeks.

Fake news, said every Trumpster

The climate and weather is already showing its might. Humans are pawns being moved around against their will.

Relax. God’s got this.

Heard this 20 years ago

We are going to hell. Give your last goodbyes... TURNTHEANIMAL

Haven't managed to 'break the ice', have we!? Who says? Antarctica is evidence enough that we have done it literally. However, metaphorically we're unable to 'break the ice' with the idea of environmental consciousness. It'll surely take hard-hitting havoc for that ice to break!

Yep - once I started reading the article and saw the word ‘suggests’ and then the sources, I realized I was reading fiction.

December 26 Antarctic sea ice extent is running above last year and very close to normal for this time of year - which is called 'summer' in the southern hemisphere. ClimateHysteria tan123 dbirch214 luisbaram

'suggests' means without certainty.

who the hell posted this tripe the guy in the vid wrote a book about the end of the world, does anyone still believe this crap they show alot of pollution, all of which has nothing to do with co2 & is being neglected by all the $ going to co2 nonsense

Meanwhile on the other side of Antarctica record amounts of ice are being added but we’ll never hear about that from the drive by bought and paid for mainstream media.

Pure bullshit

And have been in one for 30 years. I keep waiting, scared and afraid, for one of the many worst case scenarios that is inevitably going to happen tomorrow. All we need is a Dem president and the world will be saved, right?

'data suggests' suggest : verb to indicate something usually without showing it in a direct or certain way

JonathanGrissom Questions: 1) is estimation method or instruments used to estimate the same as in 1979? 2) when ice extent reaches an unexpected maximum (as it most certainly has at least 1x in last 40y), is it publicized? My guess is “yes” to question 1 and “no” to question 2.

Wrecksdart NO SHIT

Oh no! Hollywood stop flying on private Jets. That should fix it.

Trump says that’s false news

Prolly not.

Fig 2c: Same as Fig 2a but for meltwater. Be carefull that most of this meltwater is retained by the snowpack and does not runoff to the ocean.

Armageddon!!!

From crisis back to mergency? NEWSWEAK!

'...the production of melt water is a record 230 percent higher than average since November this year. That's despite the melting season not yet being over.'

The reckoning is now, it won’t wait & people need this cleansing. The environment can’t wait, a return to Constitutional & rule of law integrity can’t wait, the good intentions, peace & cohesion of our population can’t wait.

Dissolves very slowly...Because politicians will not talk about it..And snatchers often talk about the behavior of people in society Earth🌻 England UN_Women GDP UNDP ASEAN World Thailand Travel น่านClubThailand🇹🇭 ClimateChange🌏 UK UAE EU US AEC GinOClock lol😝

Sounds very much like BS made up to sell the carbon dioxide scam. The 'data' comes from a model (which starts in 1979?); would we get a Newsweek story/hype if that model showed the greatest one-day ice *gain* since 1979?

It doesn't matter if we are causing it, or if it is nature. We still need to deal with it.
