In 2023, Antarctic sea ice fell to historically low levels, prompting researchers to use CMIP6 climate models to assess the rarity of the event and its link to climate change. The study found that without climate change such a drastic reduction would be extremely rare, but current climate conditions made it more likely. The research … Read more
