Antarctic Ice Sheet tipping in the last 800,000 years warns of future ice loss - Communications Earth & Environment The Antarctic Ice Sheet exhibits hysteresis and irreversible ice loss, with West Antarctic collapse contributing over 4โ€‰m of sea-level rise even under minimal additional warming, according to 800,000-...

New research: West Antarctic Ice Sheet collapse contributes over 4โ€‰m sea-level rise with little (0.25โ€‰ยฐC) or even no ocean warming above present
