Thawing of Antarctic ice shelves due to deep-ocean heat

Deep-ocean heat is shifting toward Antarctica, threatening to melt ice shelves from below and disrupt global currents. This scenario was previously predicted by models, but now confirmed by a machine learning analysis of 40 years of data. The expansion of 'Circumpolar Deep Water' poses a significant risk to Antarctic ice shelves.
