Even a slight increase in the temperature of the world's oceans can lead to a sudden acceleration of the melting of glaciers in Antarctica, write British scientists Alexander Bradley and Ian Hewitt in an article for the scientific journal Nature Geoscience.
“We found that rising ocean temperatures could lead to a tipping point, after which ocean water would penetrate indefinitely under the (Antarctic) ice sheet through uncontrollable melting,” the publication says.
