【Ice Cap Crisis: 12.5 Trillion Tons of Melting Ice Pushes Up Sea Levels, Greenland and Antarctica Disappear at an Accelerated Rate】 1) A study published Wednesday in Science Data shows that approximately 12.5 trillion tons of ice have melted in Greenland and Antarctica since 1979, enough to cover the continental United States by 5 feet. (2) Global warming is accelerating the melting of the two major ice caps, with five-sixths of the melting coming from warmer seawater eroding the ice caps from below and the sides, rather than from warmer air; the study authors say this is bad news for future sea level rise. (3) Nearly 30 quadrillion gallons of meltwater have caused global sea levels to rise by about 1 inch since 1979, along with other climate factors pushing up ocean levels. For every centimeter the sea level rises, at least 2 to 3 million more people will be flooded at least once a year; the Jacob Harbour Glacier in Greenland is retreating by up to 164 feet per day. (4) The team incorporated NASA data to trace the volume of the Antarctic ice cap back to 1979 and Greenland's back to 1972. The ice sheet was relatively stable from the 1970s to the 1990s, but melted at an accelerated pace in the 2010s; the pause from 2020 to 2023 reflected more short-term weather than long-term trends, and the accelerating trend has since resumed. (5) Record snowfall in East Antarctica compensated for the rapid melting of the less stable West Antarctic ice sheet. Scientists are most concerned about dynamic processes, which are more sudden than slow melting caused by air and are more likely to trigger an out-of-control "critical point"; Holland, an ice scientist at New York University, said that most of the ice loss is dynamic and consistent with the scenario of unstable ice sheet collapse. (6) The study used 45 independent surveys and 27 satellites. Skambas, an ice scientist at the University of Colorado who was not involved in the study, said that Antarctic mass loss is a clear and real danger, but it will only become apparent in the coming decades; society is smart enough to know the future, but not prudent enough to act.

[World Meteorological Organization: 2025 to be one of the driest years in 35 years for global rivers, water cycle anomalies intensify] (1) The World Meteorological Organization released the "Global Water Status Report" on the 17th, pointing out that 2025 will be one of the driest years in 35 years for global rivers; land water storage will continue its nearly decade-long downward trend, and major global glaciers will experience ice loss for the fourth consecutive year. (2) The report warns that the global water cycle is becoming more abnormal and unpredictable, and water security faces long-term risks. (3) In 2025, about 36% of the global drainage basin will have river runoff below normal levels. For the past seven years, only 34% to 38% of river basins have been in a "normal" state, significantly lower than the average of 46% between 1991 and 2020. (4) World Meteorological Organization Secretary-General Saloyo stated that groundwater, glaciers, and seasonal snow cover were originally the Earth's "savings account" for dealing with droughts and other adverse years, but this buffer reserve is now being continuously depleted. Global land water storage has been declining since around 2014 to 2016, and has continued for ten years. (5) The retreat of glaciers is equally worrying: 2025 marks the fourth consecutive year that glaciers in all regions have melted. From 2023 to 2025, glaciers will lose material every year, with a cumulative global loss of approximately 1.4 trillion tons of water, roughly equivalent to filling about 560 million Olympic-sized swimming pools, or about one-third of the world's annual freshwater intake. (6) The report points out that Asia and Africa are the regions most severely affected by hydro-meteorological disasters. In the past five years, these two continents have accounted for at least half of the world's water-related extreme events and more than 80% of reported deaths. (7) The World Meteorological Organization emphasizes that transboundary rivers, glaciers, and groundwater systems require broader data sharing, unified standards, and coordinated early warning systems to enhance countries' ability to respond to floods, droughts, and long-term water risks.

[Zuckerberg refutes “slowdown theory”: AI safety does not require external pressure, labs that do not focus on alignment will fall behind] (1) Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said on Tuesday that AI companies are inherently motivated to focus on safety when deciding on the timeline for building models, and do not need external pressure to maintain this timeline. (2) He posted on the social platform X that every lab has the responsibility and motivation to move at the pace required to safely train its models, and the ability to take action on its own to ensure that this is achieved. (3) Zuckerberg also asserted that people do not want to use agents that are inconsistent with them and do not act as they ask, which puts pressure on AI creators to make their models more in line with human values. (4) He added that there is a lot of debate about slowing down progress on capabilities before “alignment” catches up; his point is that trust and alignment are rapidly becoming the most important capabilities that differentiate agents and models, and any lab that does not focus on alignment will fall behind. (5) Zuckerberg’s post came after a wider debate surrounding AI development over the past week. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said over the weekend that the development of this technology must be slowed down to allow room for the implementation of necessary risk prevention and mitigation measures; tech peers Sam Altman and Elon Musk both support Amodei. (6) In a blog post, Amodei wrote: “We must slow down the pace of improving the capabilities of AI models. Progress will still seem fast, and we must use the time we gain wisely.” (7) The Anthropic CEO suggested that AI companies should quickly take steps to “adjust” the pace of model development and warned that if the technology is not put on the brakes, it could have serious consequences.
