The changing role of global carbon sinks: Arctic and Greenland ice crisis.
A major warning of the global climate crisis is the fast melting of Arctic and Antarctic ice sheets. According to scientific reports, the mass of Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets reached record lows in 2025.
Scientists warn that the two ice sheets may soon reach a Tipping Point,’ leading to irreversible ice melting for hundreds of years.
This event will essentially raise sea levels rapidly, which is a huge threat to coastal cities around the world. Scientists observed that carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere have reached record highs because extreme heat waves and “El Niño” have drastically reduced land’s ability to absorb carbon.
The climate system is becoming unstable, and humanity must urgently act to prevent environmental disaster.
