World’s ice is melting faster than ever
As global temperatures increase, the melting of the massive ice sheets that blanket Antarctica and Greenland has accelerated, making a significant contribution to sea-level rise. In total, Earth is losing around a trillion tonnes of ice each year – which is not being replenished.
Andrew Shepherd of the University of Leeds is a leading climate scientist working with ESA and @NASA. Join Andrew as he discusses how long-term satellite observations from ESA’s Climate Change Initiative are key in monitoring changes in ice sheets over decades.

The truth is usually something you don't want to hear
You left out the part where the ice is getting thicker in other areas. How convenient.
Grazie ❤
and no one is doing anything about because it doesn't make money. once the resources have all been depleted and we have massive pollution issues, what else will be exploited for money ?
