"The rhythmic expansion and contraction of Antarctic sea ice is like a
heartbeat.
But lately, there’s been a skip in the beat. During each of the last two
summers, the ice around Antarctica has retreated farther than ever before.
And just as a change in our heartbeat affects our whole body, a change to sea
ice around Antarctica affects the whole world.
Today, researchers at the Australian Antarctic Program Partnership (AAPP) and
the Australian Centre for Excellence in Antarctic Science (ACEAS) have joined
forces to release a science briefing for policy makers,
On Thin Ice.
Together we call for rapid cuts to greenhouse gas emissions, to slow the rate
of global heating. We also need to step up research in the field, to get a grip
on sea-ice science before it’s too late."
