Recent studies have highlighted the disturbing acceleration of melting in Alaska's Juneau icefield, home to over 1,000 glaciers. The area's snow cover is rapidly diminishing, shrinking nearly 5 times faster than in the 1980s. This worrying trend emphasizes the urgency of addressing climate change impacts. Moreover, Earth has experienced 12 consecutive months of warming at or above 1.5 degrees Celsius, a threshold for avoiding the worst effects of climate change. These reports underscore the critical need for immediate and decisive action to combat climate change and its far-reaching consequences. Additionally, Earth's more than year-long streak of record-shattering hot months continued through June, indicating the ongoing trend of extreme weather events due to human-caused climate change.
