Antarctica missing nearly Argentina-sized sea ice, new study warns of faster global warming

Antarctica's role in global warming may be underestimated, a new study reveals. Researchers found Antarctic sea ice, cloud cover, and ocean heat absorption are more interconnected than climate models suggest. This suggests warming could accelerate, with significant implications for sea level rise and extreme weather. Urgent greenhouse gas emission cuts…
