Guest post: Climate change has caused one-fifth of Pine Island glacier retreat

According to a new analysis published by Carbon Brief, climate change is responsible for roughly one-fifth of the rapid retreat observed in West Antarctica's Pine Island glacier. The glacier, one of the most rapidly changing in Antarctica, has been retreating for decades due to a combination of climate warming and natural ocean conditions. Understanding which factors drive the retreat helps scientists project future ice loss and its impact on global sea levels.
