🚨 'Alarms from the #Arctic and other frozen regions around the world (known as the #cryosphere ) keep sounding—and decision-makers around the world keep ignoring them,' says Pam Pearson, International Cryosphere Climate Initiative exec. director.

The last breath of La Corona glacier on peak Humboldt in Venezuela.
This glacier, once prominent, has now been downgraded to an 'ice patch'.
I discussed this matter yesterday on French radio:

❄️ #Permafrost is found under vast areas of tundra & boreal forest in the #Arctic
But Claire Treat AWI Media explains, it is thawing everywhere, with impacts not only for local people & wildlife, but us all.

A new feedback loop has been discovered that may accelerate the melting of #Antarctic ice shelves
The authors found that increased basal melting strengthens the undercurrent that transports warm water onshore, further enhancing melting

It’s a tough time to be an emperor penguin 🐧
14 of the 66 colonies in Antarctica lost some or all of their chicks due to sea ice breakup in 2023.
But colonies some adapted! Here's the story of two colonies we followed from space ⬇️

🌡️ Why does warming need to be kept below 1.5 °C?
Many reasons but one to note:
Even a 2 °C temperature rise is too high to prevent devastating global impacts from #cryosphere loss 🚨

Antarctica is #influencing your life right now! 🇦🇶
Earth’s frozen places are a crucial part of the climate and weather systems we’re all used to, and quite like as they are.
This #WorldEarthDay , here's why Antarctica (and polar science) matters - in 90 seconds ⬇️
🌍🔬 Today, #CopernicusClimate and World Meteorological Organization release the 2023 #ESOTC report. It details climate conditions, key events, their impacts, and discusses climate policy and action with a focus on human health.
Read the full report here 👉 climate.copernicus.eu/esotc/2023?utm…
New data from Copernicus ECMWF & World Meteorological Organization show that #Arctic sea ice extent:
🌡️ Was below average for most of 2023
🌡️ Annual max. was 4% below average, ranking 5th lowest
🌡️ Annual min. 18% below average, ranking 6th lowest
This #EarthDay , we need #ClimateAction 🚨
#ESOTC #ESOTC 2023
Continued high emissions will cause irreversible acceleration of subsea #Arctic #permafrost thaw within 60 years, with huge losses by 2300!
If we radically reduce CO2 emissions, large areas of the Arctic seafloor will remain largely frozen for the next 1000 yrs.
