20 kwi 2023 · An international group of scientists who work with satellite data say the acceleration in the melting of Earth's ice sheets is now unmistakable. They calculate the planet's frozen poles lost...
29 sty 2021 · In total, the rate of ice loss has increased by 65 percent between 1994 and 2017. Overall, between 1994 and 2017, planet Earth lost 28 trillion tonnes of ice. To put that in perspective, that would be equivalent to a 100-meter-thick sheet of ice the size of the U.K. This melting ice has been the most concerning in two polar climates: Antarctica ...
