Glaciologist Rob DeConto's research on polar climate change, specifically focusing on glaciers and ice sheets, is discussed in this article. DeConto explains the differences between Antarctica and Greenland and the challenges of understanding how the Antarctic ice sheet will behave in a warmer world. He also discusses the potential dangers of marine ice sheet instability and the impact of melting ice shelves on sea-level rise. The article emphasizes the uncertainties surrounding the rate of sea-level rise and the need for further research in this area. It highlights the term "deep uncertainty" used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to describe the situation and the conservative nature of current projections. The author emphasizes the need for action to address the melting of ice sheets, as it poses a threat to infrastructure worldwide. [Extracted from the article] |
