Antarctica's Climate Change Accelerates, Setting Records

Recent studies show the continent's climate is changing four times faster than global averages, with unprecedented heatwaves and ice melt.

Antarctica has experienced its highest temperatures and lowest sea ice levels in recent years, attributed to climate change.
The zero-degree isotherm's southward migration indicates a rapid climate shift, affecting ecosystems and the cryosphere.
Climate models predict the isotherm's movement will accelerate, with future shifts dependent on carbon emissions.
Increased liquid rain and reduced snowfall in Antarctica's outer regions may lead to faster sea ice loss during summer.
The movement of the zero-degree isotherm poses a significant threat to peripheral glaciers, potentially raising sea levels.
