The Antarctic Climate Change and the Environment (ACCE) Report
Just released: a major overview of climate change in Antarctica. Led by the British Antarctic Survey.
Link goes to the splash page, from where you can download the large PDF.
Summary of 10 key findings:
1. Hole in ozone layer has shielded most of Antarctica from global warming
2. Warming of the Southern Ocean will cause changes in Antarctic ecosystem
3. Rapid increase in plant communities across Antarctic Peninsula
4. Rapid ice loss in parts of the Antarctic
5. 10% increase in sea ice around the Antarctic
6. Carbon dioxide levels increasing at fastest pace in 800,000 years
7. Sea ice loss directly affecting krill levels and penguin colonisation
8. Antarctica predicted to warm by around 3C over this century
9. West Antarctic ice loss could contribute to 1.4 m sea level rise
10. Improved modelling of polar processes required for accurate predictions
