Earth’s ice is melting faster than ever—and the consequences could reshape the planet.<br /><br />From the rapidly warming Arctic to the massive ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland, scientists are tracking an alarming acceleration in global ice loss.<br /><br />Nearly 99% of Earth’s land ice is stored in these polar regions, while the rest exists in mountain glaciers across regions like Alaska and Patagonia.<br /><br />Between 1976 and 2024, glaciers alone lost over 9 trillion tonnes of ice. Meanwhile, Greenland and Antarctica together lost 7.5 trillion tonnes in just a few decades.<br /><br />- If all Antarctic ice melted, sea levels could rise by 58 metres<br />- Greenland alone could add 7 metres<br />- Even now, sea levels have already risen about 20 cm<br /><br />The situation is worsening as the planet heats up. The last three years have been the hottest on record, and phenomena like El Niño could push temperatures even higher.<br /><br />The loss of sea ice is also disrupting ecosystems—threatening species like polar bear and emperor penguin—while accelerating warming as darker oceans absorb more heat. <br /><br />#ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #Earth #Environment #Science #BreakingNews #World<br /><br /><br />š LIKE ā” SHARE ā” SUBSCRIBE<br /><br />š° Breaking news. ā”Live updates. š Trusted stories — all in one app. Download the Asianet News App today š<br />š iOS: https://apps.apple.com/in/app/asianet-news-official/id1093450032<br />š¤ Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vserv.asianet&hl=en_IN<br /><br />For More Updates:<br /><br />Follow us on our What's app Channel: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va5Bq3yKwqSLSQTxam0r<br /><br />English: https://newsable.asianetnews.com/<br /><br />Hindi: https://hindi.asianetnews.com/<br /><br />Malayalam: https://www.asianetnews.com/<br /><br />Kannada: https://kannada.asianetnews.com/<br /><br />Tamil: https://tamil.asianetnews.com/<br /><br />Telugu: https://telugu.asianetnews.com/<br /><br />Bengali: https://bangla.asianetnews.com/<br /><br />Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AsianetNewsa...<br /><br />Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AsianetNewsEN<br /><br />Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ann.newsable/<br /><br />ā” If you like our video, give us a thumbs up and subscribe to our channel to get the daily dosage of news, entertainment, sports and more.
