"Alarm Bells Ring: 60% of Antarctic Ice Shelves at Risk by 2085, Study Warns"

A study warns that 60% of Antarctic ice shelves are at risk of collapse by 2085, threatening to accelerate sea level rise and submerge coastal cities globally.

• The study projects that starting in 2085, 60% of Antarctic ice shelves will face a state where survival becomes difficult due to climate change.
• If these ice shelves collapse, the flow of Antarctic glaciers into the ocean could significantly increase, contributing to rapid sea level rise worldwide.
• Researchers linked the deterioration of ice shelves to rising ocean heat content, underscoring the urgency of addressing global warming to protect vulnerable coastal regions.
