A ‘triple whammy’ of chaos has triggered a downward spiral in Antarctica, scientists discover - Yahoo
Overview
Scientists previously identified a post‑2015 ‘triple whammy’ of interacting changes that pushed Antarctic sea ice into a downward spiral. The new analysis adds that ocean heat has begun breaking through the Southern Ocean, causing a sudden 'shock' decline that amplifies those interacting drivers. This combination helps explain the rapid, sustained drop in sea ice and the cascading impacts on ocean conditions and ecosystems.
