Article Synopsis – New research suggests that variations in Earth’s axial tilt, called obliquity, significantly affect the melting and freezing of the Antarctic ice sheet. The study also found that “elevated carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the resulting loss of sea ice around the Antarctic played a big role in amplifying the effects of obliquity on the durability and stability of the Antarctic Ice Sheet”.
