We need to talk about ANTARCTICA...AGAIN!!

Global ocean surface temperatures are so high that climate scientists are describing them as "off the charts". September 2023 global average surface temperatures obliterated the previous record high, causing those same scientists to declare the result 'shocking' and 'out of control'. The consequences for the world's largest ice sheet are already measurable. The 2023 Antarctic Sea ice maximum was more than a million square kilometres lower than the previous low record. Now two scientific research teams published data on just how bad it is likely to get.
