Researchers track unprecedented ice loss 🧊. Glaciers in Canada 🇨🇦, the U.S. 🇺🇸, and Switzerland 🇨🇭 have lost around 12% of their ice since 2001. Researchers say ice loss is now “falling off a cliff” ⛰️ due to heat ☀️, drought 🌵, and glacial darkening—a deadly acceleration never seen before.

Sea levels are rising globally—but around Greenland, they may fall. 🌊🧊A new study suggests that as climate change accelerates ice loss, local sea levels near Greenland could drop by about 0.9 m in a low-emissions scenario and up to 2.5 m in a high-emissions future by 2100.

Polar bears getting "fatter and healthier" amid ice loss
Scientists think that Svalbard bears have adapted to recent ice loss by eating more land-based prey.

Greenland and Antarctica have lost 11.3 trillion metric tons of ice since the 1970s, raising global sea level by more than 3 centimeters (1.2 inches). For every third of an inch (or centimeter) of sea level rise, another 2 to 3 million people get flooded at least once per year.
