Scientists Warn Cryosphere Faces Permanent Damage Beyond 1.5°C

Scientists warn that the cryosphere, the frozen water part of the Earth, will suffer permanent damage if global temperatures exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. This irreversible harm threatens glaciers, ice sheets, and permafrost, impacting sea levels and ecosystems worldwide. The warning highlights the urgent need for climate action to limit warming and protect these critical frozen regions.
