Scientists identify 'triple whammy' driving Antarctic downward spiral

Potential displacement of millions in coastal regions if sea level rise accelerates as scientists warn.

At the bottom of the world, three ancient forces have found each other — warming seas, shifting skies, and fracturing ice — and in their convergence, scientists have discovered something more alarming than any single threat: they do not add, they multiply. Antarctica, which holds within its frozen mass the potential to redraw every coastline on Earth, is now understood to be destabilizing faster than our models dared predict. This is not a distant reckoning but a narrowing window, and the choices made in the coming years will determine whether millions of coastal lives are measured in decades
