🌊 Ocean warming threatens the viability of 60% of Antarctic ice shelves If global temps stay <2 °C, nearly all 64 ice shelves survive by 2300. But above ~4.5 °C, ocean melt causes 38 shelves to collapse by 2300, risking up to 10 m sea level rise. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

nature.comOcean warming threatens the viability of 60% of Antarctic ice shelves - NatureThe viability of Antarctic ice shelves under low rates and high rates of global warming is modelled to estimate when it will become unfeasible for the ice shelves to maintain their present-day shape.

For me, our latest Doughnut findings underscore the urgency and importance of the collective work to move beyond GDP as the measure of economic success, reorienting economies to create a future that provides a good life for all within planetary boundaries. Dive in! /FIN
