Greenland and Antarctica ice loss accelerating

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-51846468

Earth's great ice sheets, Greenland and Antarctica, are now losing mass six times faster than they were in the 1990s thanks to warming conditions.

A comprehensive review of satellite data acquired at both poles is unequivocal in its assessment of accelerating trends, say scientists.

Between them, Greenland and Antarctica lost 6.4 trillion tonnes of ice in the period from 1992 to 2017.

This was sufficient to push up global sea-levels by 17.8mm.

"That's not a good news story," said Prof Andrew Shepherd from the University of Leeds in the UK.

"Today, the ice sheets contribute about a third of all sea-level rise, whereas in the 1990s, their contribution was actually pretty small at about 5%. This has important implications for the future, for coastal flooding and erosion," he told BBC News.
Personally, I've been involved in issuing warnings about climate change and global warming since the 1970's, so I'm devastated that continuing and careless human activity has not been curbed but continues to accelerate towards the destruction of the planet .....

It may be that this accelleration of th melt is no longer within our
control Omah? This could be the tipping point?
I am on your side when it comes to the enviroment but it seems
that those with power think otherwise?

It does seem to have grabbed the headlines DM!

I wonder if all this lockdown, less flying etc will
have any effect on warming.

If it does perhaps it could show a way forward?

I think it must help a bit Biffo! If not with GW then with air pollution
generally? And noise pollution also! It seems that road traffic has
definitely dropped in the countries affected as well as the air
traffic drastically?
So all good, but for how long?
The ice caps are now becoming our next major challenge and l
believe we will have to make some really difficult decisions very
soon?
