A major study has revealed that the world's glaciers have lost 5% of their ice in just over 20 years, indicating an alarming acceleration in glacial melting. This rapid reduction in glacial ice has significant implications for sea-level rise and freshwater supply, underlining the urgency of addressing climate change. The impact of climate change extends to marine ecosystems as well, with a new £4.25m project launched to investigate climate 'tipping points' in these ecosystems. The study aims to understand and predict these critical thresholds and their consequences for the UK, particularly the fishing industry. These findings emphasize the pressing need for decisive action to mitigate climate change impacts on both land and sea.
