New research shows the world’s ice is melting faster than ever, and the losses are expected to “increase the frequency of extreme-weather events such as flooding, fires, storm surges and heat waves”

From Antarctica to the Arctic, the world’s ice is melting faster than ever, according to a new global satellite survey that calculated the amount of ice lost from a generation of rising temperatures.

Between 1994 and 2017, the Earth lost 28 trillion metric tons of ice, the survey showed. That is an amount roughly equivalent to a sheet of ice 100 meters thick covering the state of Michigan or the entire U.K.—and the meltwater from so much ice loss has raised the sea level just over an inch or so world-wide, the scientists said.

“It’s such a huge amount it’s hard to imagine it,” said Thomas Slater, a research fellow at the U.K.’s University of Leeds Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling and the lead author of a paper describing the new research. “Ice plays a crucial role in regulating the global climate, and losses will increase the frequency of extreme weather events such as flooding, fires, storm surges and heat waves.

, Dr. Slater and his colleagues determined that the rate of global melting has accelerated 65% since the 1990s.

Lying crooked Biden gonna stop it lol

Bullshit and there was an ice age millions of years ago and guess what happened it melted

Translation: All Bad Weather events are YOUR FAULT & Need to spend $100 Trillion NOW to fix bad weather & in 20 yrs, all we will know for certain is spending $500 Trillion is the next step ** Please Ignore all 'Studies' suggesting anything different

Get ready for endless stories on climate catastrophe.

And pandemics. Don’t forget pandemics.

Significa que los dos polos Norte y Sur se están derritiendo más rápido que nunca producto del cambio climático global y posiblemente para este año aumenten la frecuencia de los fenómenos atmosféricos, inundaciones, incendios forestales, marejadas ciclónicas y olas de calor...

Complete 🐴💩

Al Gore with his World Tour to show his ‘Inconvenient Truth’ told in 2003 about terrific effect of melting of glaciers and Leaders didn’t listen. Soon Humans will ‘pay the price’ for ignoring science on Global Warming

Fake news!!!!!

It’s happened many times in history. No big deal

Yawn.... Again WSJ?

Bullshit!

Tax all Chinese Imports - it would be a pollution tax. Time to internalize an external good.

Wait! What's this? It's dueling 'climate scientists!'

But I though TheDemocrats fixed climate change?

now it's a bit too late to fight the climate change but some actions should be taken

ShellenbergerMD has written a fantastic book called Apocalypse Never. I suggest reading it before shrieking about the end of times.

Worst scientists Ever !!

What a load of crap...you need to read research from ALL scientists NOT just those invested in the Great Climate Farce ...whose very jobs depend on creating these outcomes to Sell Renewables to Woke Hypocrite World Consumers.

Duhh Warming has been accelerating now last 5ish yrs so it would seem we hit a breaking point Just as predicted by scientists 20+ yrs ago But everyone just laughed here in US Laughed at algore When Australia-CA were on 🔥 U think all would wake up? GretaThunberg WayTooEarly📰

They’ve been sayinh that for years and it’s never happened, so can you change your battle cry, because it’s old.

I am grateful to meet Anfisa after the horrible times which I passed through with the fake profiles. Thank you . I can't even imagine myself with a huge payout of $100,000 in just a week of investment I am very happy and thank you:WilsonAnfisa

Make fake ice

Don´t you like the horrible situation? Each of us can do a simple thing - buy less. Don´t buy anything which you don´t need. It is much mor effective than waving banners and chanting slogans in protest marches.

Live through the pandemic just to watch the end of the world. But hey, all the super-rich people will be gone and the meek will inherit the destruction.

Newsflash: Earth is constantly evolving. News 7pm. 🤦🏻

fakenews

DON'T BELIEVE the NEGATIVE BITCOIN news that has been coming out! 🙉🙈 The Biden administration looks to be BITCOIN FRIENDLY in the stock exchange. Huge investment companies are manipulating the news to keep the prices low till they can invest; ie Guggenheim, Blackrock, Valkyrie!

And...3,2,1. Here we go with the climate panic again.

😥😢😭bye future

We are like frogs in boiling water.
