Antarctica's melting ice threatens millions by 2100

Summary: Antarctica's melting ice sheets could displace millions by 2100. West Antarctica's Siple Coast, crucial for sea level rise predictions, shows past instability. Research suggests ice retreat linked to Earth's crust and ocean changes. Computer simulations indicate warmer oceans accelerate ice retreat. Mitigation through low emissions can prevent irreversible ice sheet collapse, emphasizing the importance of climate policy. Ocean warming must be avoided to safeguard West Antarctica's future.
