Antarctic Ice Collapse Triggers Emergency Summit

TL;DR Summary
An emergency summit of 450 polar scientists in Australia has highlighted the urgent threat of Antarctic ice melt, which could lead to catastrophic sea level rise within our lifetimes. The scientists emphasize the need for immediate global action to reduce carbon emissions, warning that current efforts are insufficient. Coastal megacities are at high risk, and citizen action may be necessary to pressure governments into taking protective measures. The situation is exacerbated by political resistance and corporate backtracking on climate commitments, raising concerns about the future impact of climate change.
