A Nature Climate Change study indicates the Antarctic Ice Sheet has multiple tipping points: irreversible loss in West Antarctica (including Thwaites Glacier) risks starting at 1.3°C warming, and East Antarctica destabilizes beyond 2°C, which poses a threat to India’s coastline and monsoon, stressing the need for action under the Indian Antarctic Act, 2022.

Rising global temperatures, greenhouse gas concentrations, ice melt, and extreme weather events signal that the planet is nearing critical tipping points. Despite growth in renewable energy, heavy reliance on fossil fuels continues, emphasizing the urgent need for rapid climate action to stabilize ecosystems and protect human and ecological well-being.
