Antarctic researchers warn of possible 'catastrophic' sea level rise within our lifetime in group statement
ABCHundreds of polar researchers have issued an emergency statement calling for urgent action to deal with the impacts of climate change in Antarctica. "Nowhere on Earth is there a greater cause of uncertainty in sea level rise projections than from East Antarctica, in Australia's backyard," the statement says. The statement says "recent research has shown record-low sea ice, extreme heatwaves exceeding 40°C above average temperatures, and increased instability around key ice shelves". "Recent research has shown record low sea ice, extreme heatwaves exceeding 40 degrees Celsius above average temperatures, and increased instability around key ice shelves." "Runaway ice loss causing rapid and catastrophic sea level rise is possible within our lifetime," it says.
