It won\u2019t have huge effects, but it\u2019s a sign of what might be coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18px; text-align: justify;\">Due to rising temperatures, it is happening with both North and South Poles seeing warmer than average temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18px; text-align: justify;\">Ice shelves are float-over-the-ocean extensions of ice sheets. In their absence, inland ice flows faster into the ocean, causing sea-level rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/polscienceweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Untitled-800-\u00d7-200px.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8810\" srcset=\"https:\/\/polscienceweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Untitled-800-\u00d7-200px.jpg 800w, https:\/\/polscienceweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Untitled-800-\u00d7-200px-300x75.jpg 300w, https:\/\/polscienceweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Untitled-800-\u00d7-200px-768x192.jpg 768w, https:\/\/polscienceweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Untitled-800-\u00d7-200px-585x146.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:23px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18px; text-align: justify;\">East Antarctica is still regarded as a massive, high, dry, cold, and immovable ice cube. Even a small ice shelf collapse in East Antarctica comes as a surprise to researchers. Ice-shelf loss is a significant concern in West Antarctica, where warming related to climate change has a greater effect than in the east.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-verse\" style=\"font-size: 18px; text-align: justify;\">Also, new research highlighted that Antarctica is approaching a climate tipping point by 2060 &#8211; when Antarctic ice could begin melting at a runaway rate. <strong>Climate tipping points are points where any small change could push the earth system into abrupt or irreversible change.<\/strong> Globally, we have nine climate tipping
