"Rare 2000-Year Event: Thwaites Glacier Melting Rapidly"

Researchers from the British Antarctic Survey have found that the recent loss of Antarctic sea ice, which is ten times the size of the UK, is a one-in-2,000-year event, significantly influenced by climate change. Using the CMIP6 climate dataset and 18 different climate models, they determined that such a sharp reduction in sea ice is extremely rare. The study also indicates that it could take over twenty years for the sea ice to recover, with profound impacts on local and global weather and ecosystems.
