‘Completely unexpected’: Antarctic sea ice may be in terminal decline due to rising Southern Ocean salinity
Scientists once thought Antarctica might hold onto its sea ice as the world warmed. No longer.
A new study finds major disagreements between satellite-era 🌍 sea surface temperature 🌊 datasets, with warming trends 📈 differing by up to 70%.
