Being Green - 13 March 2020

--:--
A new assessment by a group 89 scientists from 50 international organisations has found that the polar ice caps are melting 6 times faster than in the 1990s. A comprehensive review of satellite data from both poles showed that the Antarctica and Greenland lost 6.4 trillion tonnes of ice between 1992 and 2017, thanks to warming conditions. This led to an increase in global sea levels of close to 18 millimetres, with experts again warning about the future implications for coastal communities. In this edition of Being Green, Glynis Crook speaks to the co-leader of the study, Professor Andrew Shepherd from the University of Leeds.
