Antarctica's ice loss this century is locked in, regardless of global warming mitigation efforts.

Antarctica holds enough ice to raise global sea level by about 190 feet (58 meters). Yet scientists have disagreed on a fundamental question: Will Antarctica gain more ice than it loses this century or lose more ice than it gains? In a new study published in the scientific journal Nature Geoscience, we found that Antarctica’s ice loss this century is locked in – even if the world limits global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit), the 2015 international Paris climate agreement’s most ambitious goal https://theconversation.com/antarcticas-ice-loss-is-locked-in-and-extra-snowfall-wont-save-it-thats-bad-news-for-low-lying-coastal-areas-elsewhere-293066
