Antarctic and Southern Ocean stability is critical not only for the polar ice sheet but also global ecosystems and communities. We are attending #ATCM47 as part of ASOC, the Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition, providing scientific advice to inform decision making 🇦🇶

Today ICCI's Antarctic Director shared the latest science in #ATCM discussions, stating that geoengineering is not a solution to ice loss. She stressed the need to avoid exploiting sensitive Antarctic environments as a means to experiment with geoengineering interventions.

The opening plenary and annual SCAR lecture on latest science will take place Tuesday morning. Schedule: Concerted action is needed to better identify early warning indicators of threshold behavior from Antarctica & strengthen environmental protection.

Today is the first day of the 47th Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting, held in Milan 🇮🇹 from June 23-July 3 alongside the 27th #CEP. An important issue: the risk of multi-meter sea level rise if critical thresholds in the Antarctic Ice Sheet system are crossed.

"We're putting the planet into a condition that hasn't existed since humanity has evolved as a species, and it's destroying our natural landscapes and water supplies. making our communities uninhabitable," said Pomeroy. Clearly, his words went unheeded.

Dr. John Pomeroy @usask #IYGP exhorted G7 leaders to “just look up” at the mountains around them to see what is happening, in an allusion to the film where scientists warn humanity of an approaching comet that will destroy Earth, an analogy for today’s climate crisis.

But what is happening as a result of climate inaction is also terrible, and if we continue not to do what we know is needed – transition off fossil fuels – it will become more terrible still.

Of course there are terrible things happening across the planet: in the Middle East, in Ukraine, for that matter in southern Sudan (but that also went unheeded). And of course there is pressure to tiptoe around a U.S. leadership that ignores reality on climate.

Five of the seven G7 leaders present are presiding over dying glaciers alongside shrinking snowpack that threaten water resources for decades and centuries to come, when new 2025 climate commitments could finally turn the tide of water loss and sea-level rise – and not a word.

A landmark study released three weeks ago (highlighted by negotiators at #SB62) identified the Canadian and U.S. Rockies as one of the four most vulnerable glacier regions of the world, along with the European Alps (G7 members France, Germany and Italy), Scandinavia and Iceland.

This would have been bad at any G7, but this year of all years? G7 leaders met in Kananaskis, nestled in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, with a backdrop of some of the most rapidly-melting glaciers in the world.

Once again, despite heavy wildfires caused in part by shallow snowpack, climate took a back seat – even with the consequences of global heating right in front of them. The word “climate” did not appear anywhere in the G7 program or priorities list (.

Amid Melting Glaciers, G7 Looks Down. Meeting in the heart of Canada's glacier country during a year dedicated to glacier preservation and the next round of climate commitments, it can only be called a tragic miss that G7 leaders failed to address climate change. 📸Dick Hoskins
