From Just Have a Think.
Antarctica is collapsing! BUT it’s a game of two halves. East Antarctica is pretty solid but the West Antarctic ice sheet is perched precariously on islands and held back by huge glaciers the size of small countries. Those glaciers are rapidly giving way, and when they go, we’ve got a problem! Some scientists reckon we should radically intervene. But are they right?
