Rapid loss of Antarctic ice after 2100 likely under current emissions

A new study by more than 50 climate scientists worldwide provides the clearest projection that Antarctica's ice sheet will retreat rapidly after 2100 under current carbon emissions, with global sea levels rising by as much as 5.5 feet by 2200. The study combined 16 climate models and found that ice loss will gradually increase through this century until the ice sheet becomes highly unstable, possibly experiencing a near-total collapse by 2300.
