Urgent Action Needed to Protect Antarctica
Researchers modeled three emissions scenarios using CMIP6 models and eight environmental aspects.
Very high-emissions could lead to 48 days above 0°C, 20% sea ice loss, and krill reduction harming penguins.
Marine ice sheet instability could cause irreversible sea level rise of up to 116 mm.
Acting now to curb emissions could limit warming to 3.24°F under a low-emissions pathway.
