    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Antarctica_heat_wave

    The 2024 Antarctica heat wave refers to a prolonged and significant mid-winter increase in Antarctic temperatures compared to prior winters, causing several regions of Antarctica to reach temperatures 10 °C (18.0 °F) above normal in July 2024, up to a 28 °C (50.4 °F) increase above average. The heat wave was significant for occurring during ...

    The West Antarctic ice sheet is likely to completely melt [17] [18] [19] unless temperatures are reduced by 2 °C (3.6 °F) below 2020 levels. [20] The loss of this ice sheet would take between 2,000 and 13,000 years, [21] [22] although several centuries of high greenhouse emissions could shorten this time to 500 years. [23]

    Antarctica from 2017 to 2020 is still losing about 127 billion tons (115 billion metric tons) of ice a year, down 23% from earlier in the decade, but overall up 64% from the early 1990s.

    It is believed that the loss of the ice sheet would take between 2,000 and 13,000 years, although several centuries of high emissions may shorten this to 500 years. 3.3 m (10 ft 10 in) of sea level rise would occur if the ice sheet collapses but leaves ice caps on the mountains behind, and 4.3 m (14 ft 1 in) if those melt as well.
