>>According to a new study, a vital section of the world’s largest ice shelf is losing ice 10 times faster than the overall melt rate for the structure, posing a potential risk to its future stability. The Ross Ice Shelf stretches out over 500,809 km2 (193,363 miles2), and accounts for 32 percent of Antarctica’s total ice shelf area.<<

>>“Previous studies have shown that when ice shelves collapse, the feeding glaciers can speed up by a factor of two or three,” warns Dr. Poul Christoffersen of the University of Cambridge’s Scott Polar Research Institute, who co-authored a new study detailing an important threat to the world’s largest ice shelf.<<

>>The instruments revealed that relatively warm water was flowing into a cavity located beneath the shelf……… It was determined that the water invading the cavity was heated by the Sun in a stretch of open ocean near to the shelf known as the Ross Sea Polyna, which is kept largely free of sea ice thanks to powerful offshore winds. Once warmed, the water was driven into the cavity by a combination of strong winds and tidal forcing.<<

Well we can’t say we weren’t warned

Indeed pretty much about all climate change and most measures seem to be not just too little too late, but you’ve got powerful people actively trying to get rid of them

Without even reading the article I’d believe it, they’ve hidden much less damaging things.
Just when you thing nothing more can go wrong you get another article about something else getting messed up by our warming planet.
The biggest worry is they all compound each other and we get an unforeseen runaway event that is hugely disastrous for life and makes everything else that’s occurring seem miniscule by comparison.

Barbara Bush ?
It would be nice if we had honest transparent government, warts and all instead of the liars and cheats we get regardless of party

I bet evidence has been around for decades before anyone dared say anything, even if it wasn’t direct climate change it had effects on health
