Study: Major ice sheets and permafrost cross irreversible planetary thresholds

A new study in Science concludes that large parts of the world's glaciers and permafrost have crossed safe planetary boundaries, making their loss effectively irreversible. Researchers describe entering 'completely unknown territory,' signaling a potential acceleration of sea-level rise and carbon release. The finding underscores a critical climate tipping point with long-term global consequences.
