Scientists identify new Antarctic ice sheet ‘tipping point,’ warning future sea level rise may be underestimated
CNN  —  The Antarctic ice sheet is melting in a new, worrying way that scientific models used to project future sea level rise have not taken into account, suggesting current projections could be significantly underestimating the problem, according to a new study. Scientists from the British Antarctic Survey found that warm ocean water is seeping beneath the ice sheet at its “grounding line” — the point at which the ice rises from the seabed and starts to float — causing accelerated melting which could lead to a tipping point, according to the report published Tuesday in the journal Nature Geoscience. A tipping point refers to the threshold at which a series of small changes accumulate to p
