Scientists Warn of Imminent Cryosphere Collapse and Global Climate Risks
A new report from the International Cryosphere Climate Initiative warns that several climate tipping points, including the potential collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), are more likely than previously thought. The report highlights severe ice melt, such as the loss of Venezuela's last glacier and significant ice loss from Greenland and the Thwaites Glacier. These changes could lead to drastic sea-level rise and extreme weather patterns. The report urges immediate action as current global climate commitments fall short of necessary targets.
