Antarctica’s Ice Melting Faster, Its High-Time To Prevent Global Destruction

The ice sheet of Antartica at Earth’s southern pole is melting expeditiously which is a big matter of concern for scientists. When the ice melts, it flows into the ocean which makes the sea level rise up. Increasing sea levels is a huge problem.

Scientists have anticipated how one large ice sheet, Thwaites Glacier, could diminish over the next 50 to 800 years. The forecast came out with the result that glacier was more in danger of becoming unstable.

Instability in an ice sheet makes it frozen, ticking time bomb. A lead author says, “If you trigger this instability, you don’t need to continue to force the ice sheet by cranking up temperatures. It will keep going by itself, and that’s the worry.”

Ultimately, scientists are trying to figure out any way they can change the climate. But it still wouldn’t completely prevent the risk and rise in sea levels that could be provoked by unstable ice sheets.
