The prognosis for the West #Antarctic Ice Sheet may be terminal - but what are we gonna do about it?

The answer is courage, not hope.

📉Global CO2 cld peak *AS SOON AS THIS YR*
⛰️Global fossil fuel use peak in 2025
🇨🇳China fossil fuel use peak in 2024 (!)
🌄Solar outlook for 2050 up 69% vs last yr (!)
🌡️Warming 2.4C (🔽 2.6C 2021 ⏬ 3.5C 2015)

Models play a pivotal role in evaluating the severity of climate change - as shown in a recent study about the unevitable increase in West Antarctic Ice Sheet melting by Dr Kaitlin Naughten et al.

In line with continuously evolving models, more observations are urgently needed to…

Dr Kaitlin Naughten The Conversation NatureClimate I really liked the quote from Kate Marvel: We need courage, not hope. Courage is doing the right thing, even if you don’t know you’ll get a good outcome.

I mean damn that’s what everything is about - not just climate change. That’s the person I want to be.

A climate denier emailed both me and my (male) co-author. I was addressed as Ms, my co-author addressed as Dr 🤔

New science from Dr Kaitlin Naughten at British Antarctic Survey 🐧 asked how much control we still have over West Antarctic Ice Sheet melting.

The answer: very little in this century.

All emissions scenarios, incl. Paris Agreement 1.5°C, showed a 3x increase in ocean warming in the Amundsen Sea.

'How do you tell a bad news story? The conventional wisdom is that you’re supposed to give people hope.'

Rapid ice melt in west Antarctica now inevitable, research shows

- Sea level will be driven up no matter how much carbon emissions are cut, putting coastal cities in danger

The melt rate of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet will increase until the end of the century, even if we reduce emissions.

New research led by BAS' Dr Kaitlin Naughten shows that it's now likely unavoidable - even in the best-case scenario.

Here's the story ⬇️
