| Summary: | From the executive summary: Earth’s two large ice sheets, in Antarctica and Greenland, are currently deteriorating and will continue to deteriorate even under the most optimistic greenhouse-gas emissions scenarios. They are a major contributor to sea-level rise and the subsequent damage to natural and human systems. We cannot stop sea-level rise, but we may be able to slow it while humanity does the necessary shift away from carbon-based energy systems. |
