Despite climate-denying research from fringe groups, most research confirms ice melt is accelerating sea level rise at unprecedented rates, with 85% of ocean mass increase now coming from melting ice sheets and glaciers. Current warming has already locked in 40% of global glacier loss, and without immediate action, three-quarters of glacier mass will disappear, fundamentally altering coastlines worldwide.
