Summary

Story summary

A new study links Antarctic sea ice, cloud cover, and global warming, suggesting future warming may be underestimated.
It finds ocean heat uptake and thermal sea level rise could be 3-14% higher than prior models, with cloud feedback 19-31% stronger.
The study emphasizes accurate modeling of sea ice and ocean circulation is essential, as current models may understate climate impacts.
