"We're not reporting that the Antarctic is safe and that sea-level rise isn't going to continue," said Mathieu Morlighem. "All of our projections show a rapid retreat of the ice sheet." Here, the co-author emphasizes that while the situation remains serious, the extent of the predictions particularly regarding catastrophic sea level rise is being reconsidered with new evidence.
"High-end projections," like IPCC's worst case scenario, Morlighem said, "are important for coastal planning and we want them to be accurate in terms of physics." This highlights the necessity for precise modeling to avoid misplaced investments and ensure environmentally appropriate responses to climate challenges.
