The dangerous consequences of this feedback loop warrants immediate action even if you only are gravely concerned about penguins and other sea life. Polar ice is the Earth’s regulator. Reducing emissions is the only way. #auspol
Iconic Antarctic species at risk amid 'regime shift', scientists say, with 'rapid and self-perpetuating changes'
Scientists say there is emerging evidence of abrupt and potentially unstoppable changes in the Antarctic environment, heightening the risk of significant sea level rise and the extinction of species.
Honey we broke the planet
(For "we" - the societies that got themselves and everyone else hooked on planet-changing quantities of fossil fuels. Ain't no going back now.)
