You already knew ice at our South Pole was melting fast, but you never realized it was going this fast. Through mid June, the melt for 2023 amounted to an area the size of Alaska.
Nor is the North Pole doing well. The rate of melting indicates it might not even have any ice when 2040 arrives.
Blame what forces might be. Is it warm waters from the north mixing in with Antarctic waters, causing them to melt faster?
About 30 percent of the sun's heat is reflected back into space by our ice cover. Take that away and global warming will only increase.
Mankind has little time to act. If we are to save such grave amounts of ice from melting away, we must move on it now. You thought we had another 25 years to respond to climate change.
You were wrong.
