From Coleridge's Ancient Mariner to modern horror films, Antarctica has long been portrayed as a place that can drive people mad, with 24 hours of darkness today, er, tonight. But how much truth is there to these depictions? buff.ly/V8iFZPk #solstice

Recent research suggests that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet has an on-off switch that’s sensitive to global temperatures. Human-caused warming is close to tripping the switch, which could raise sea levels by more than expected over the coming decades.

It was a pleasure to contribute evidence to the long running Antarctic Inquiry, alongside @klausdodds.bsky.social and @huwiceandstuff.bsky.social. The Antarctic is changing rapidly, and requires urgent and targeted study to understand present and future sea level contributions.

Breaking news: it appears Emperor penguin populations in Antarctica are declining faster than predicted. Latest satellite data shows a massive 22% drop in penguin numbers over the last 15 years in key regions. This is more than double the rate of loss that experts had expected... 🧵 1/8

🌍 Dans une zone clé de l’Antarctique, 22 % de la population de manchots empereurs a disparu en quinze ans 🐧 Selon les projections, l’espèce pourrait s’approcher de l’extinction d’ici 2100 si le réchauffement climatique suit sa trajectoire actuelle. Lire 👇
