Today's emissions choices could limit Antarctic ice loss and sea-level rise for coastal communities
Reducing current greenhouse gas emissions could help minimize the amount of Antarctic ice that melts by the end of the century. This reduction in melting may also slow down sea-level rise for coastal communities. The findings suggest taking action now can make a difference.
Why it's good news: It means that making environmentally conscious choices today can have a positive impact on coastal communities in the future.
