There could be worrying consequences for the Antarctic ice sheet if the 2015 Paris climate agreement target of 2 degrees Celsius is not met.

The risk of ice shelves around the ice sheet’s perimeter melting would increase significantly, triggering rapid Antarctic melting, according to a study.

This would be faster than the average rate of sea-level rise over the past 120 years, leading to problems such as flooding.

It’s critical that countries are proactive in meeting the Paris agreement to avoid the catastrophic consequences of global warming, says the study’s author.
