World to hit temperature tipping point 10 years faster than forecast

2023-09-14 at 5:41 PM UTCThe world hit record heat. Then came the deadly floods.
This summer’s record heat helps explain the floods’ intensity and persistence, scientists say, a phenomenon that climate models have long predicted would come with rising temperatures.

"It's so far outside anything we've seen, it's almost mind-blowing," says Walter Meier, who monitors sea-ice with the National Snow and Ice Data Center.
An unstable Antarctica could have far-reaching consequences, polar experts warn.
Antarctica's huge ice expanse regulates the planet's temperature, as the white surface reflects the Sun's energy back into the atmosphere and also cools the water beneath and near it.
Without its ice cooling the planet, Antarctica could transform from Earth's refrigerator to a radiator, experts say. -

That could add a lot more heat to the planet, disrupting Antarctica's usual role as a regulator of global temperatures. -

*snickers*The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!
