Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier is melting faster than anticipated, according to satellite data. Greenland's glaciers are also melting at an alarming rate, with the melting occurring five times faster than 20 years ago. The accelerated melting of these glaciers highlights the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change. France has pledged €1bn to fund research into melting ice caps and glaciers, emphasizing the need for global efforts. Additionally, the ozone layer over Antarctica has decreased by 26% since 2004, exposing populations to increased skin cancer risk. The economic value of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean is estimated at $276 billion annually, emphasizing the need to safeguard their ecosystem services. US President Joe Biden signed a new national security memorandum on Antarctica, emphasizing the importance of preserving the region for scientific research and peaceful cooperation. Recent findings also reveal that Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier is melting at a faster rate than previously believed, highlighting the urgent need for proactive measures to mitigate climate change impacts. #Antarctica #climatechange #glaciermelting #ozone #ecosystemservices #ThwaitesGlacier...
