The finding offers a glimpse of future sea level rise and its potentially devastating effects
- Critical ice shelves in West Antarctica will melt in the near future no matter what, according to a new study published Monday.
"Our simulations suggest that we are now committed to a rapid increase in the rate of ocean warming and ice shelf melting for the rest of the century.""Courage is the resolve to do well, without the assurance of a happy ending," Naughten said. The new study, published in Nature Climate Change, focused on the response of the ice shelves to continued ocean warming, and found that in there is not much people can do at this point to stop them from melting.
According to a commentary in Nature Climate Change from Taimoor Sohail, of the University of New South Wales, the study "represents the most comprehensive set of future projections" on the region so far. But both Sohail and Naughten's team stress that the results need to be further validated using other models of the region.
In a study released last week, scientists found that the entire Greenland ice sheet could undergo an "abrupt" loss if warming gets to only 1.7 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, only fractions from where the planet is now.
