Summary

Story summary

Antarctica is undergoing significant climate change, with increased surface melting and glacier acceleration.
Research published in Nature Geoscience shows Antarctica is becoming more like Greenland, where warming drives ice loss.
Ruth Mottram, lead author of the study, noted that impacts are occurring faster than previously thought.
Ice loss has quadrupled since the 1990s.
Experts emphasize the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate these changes.
