Antarctic ice loss is a 5-sigma event. Threshold for runaway albedo loss and accelerated global warming to doom has been crossed- and actually it was put in motion quite some time ago- planet is not going hang out a sign telling you that.

Petra Heil, a sea ice physicist from the Australian Antarctic Division, told the ABC, “We might end up in a new state. That would be quite concerning to the sustainability of human conditions on Earth, I suspect.”

A much hotter environment has frightening implications for human health. It could also destroy the fish we rely on for food, the farmland where we grow crops, and the rainforests we need for oxygen.

“I think a lot of people have the time line too long out, saying this won’t affect them,” Heil told the ABC. “I’m pretty convinced that this is something my generation will experience.”

It\'s over.
