The 2025 State of the Cryosphere Report reveals accelerating losses of ice sheets, mountain glaciers, sea ice and permafrost. This impacts everyone, but growing damage could still be reduced - barely.
Thank you Tom, another beautifully presented analysis. Here's my prediction FWIW: business as usual until economic collapse, then a global last gasp push into geoengineering, but by then the Titanic will be inexorably crashing into the last iceberg still refusing to melt away. I'm nearly 60 and I now would prefer my kids not to have kids. Heartbreaking really.
Thank you, I really appreciate the feedback. I agree with you on your scenario prediction. I’m the same age and am glad I didn’t have kids at all. I’m worried for my nieces and nephews though.
Page iv has the list. Each chapter has about 10 scientific reviews as well as a main editor. There is also a detailed reference list at the end of each chapter for all the source material. Hope that's helpful

And living in the UK it's the AMOC collapse that keeps me up at night
Who were the authors of the report?
