British Antarctic survey returns with evidence of rapidly melting glaciers. The team of scientists trekked over 2,500 kilometers to a remote and inhospitable region in western Antarctica, where they found “rivers of ice” streaming towards the sea. One of the scientists, Dr. Julian Scott, says that the cause of the rapidly melting glaciers is likely a combination of geothermal activity and warmer deep ocean waters.

Dr. David Vaughan explained that the combined factors are “quite worrying” and stated that the potential collapse of a section of Western Antarctica should be taken seriously. Researchers estimate that melting glaciers in this area could lead to a 1.5-meter rise in sea levels in the next few decades.

Our sincere thankfulness, British Antarctic Survey, for braving challenging conditions to bring us more evidence of the rapid progression of global warming and its effects. We pray for Heaven’s grace and mercy in helping us to curb global warming to protect all life on Earth.
