1.5°C and the Perils of Ignoring Science: Tipping Points in the Cryosphere, Their Impacts, and How to Avoid Them
Cryosphere science shows irreversible ice loss is underway, but can be slowed with emission cuts. At a side event, scientists warned negotiators often soften evidence, urging choices guided by science...

James Kirkham, Ambition on Melting Ice High-Level Group, who stressed #glacier melt is no longer a distant concern
He cited research showing between 2000 and 2023
• the world lost about 5% of its glacier mass
• some regions, such as Central Europe, lost one-third or more

New from #COP30: under Research & Systematic Observation, parties could not agree to recognise the IPCC as representing the best available science. Several parties in SBs closing plenary lamented this fact.
