“Previously unknown troughs with thicker ice shelf cavities are revealed in many parts of Antarctica, especially East Antarctica…many glaciers are more vulnerable to ocean subsurface warming than previously thought, which may increase the projections of sea level rise from Antarctica.”

Una encuesta a personal investigador que comunica sobre ciencia en medios desvela que un 53,3% de las persona que divulgan sobre cambio climático ha sufrido insultos y ataques en los últimos años.

Campañas de odio por divulgar ciencia: «Me identificaron los grupos antivacunas y atacaron mi perfil. Me borré de todas las redes sociales» - Climática, el medio especializado en clima y biodiversidad
Un estudio de la Fundación Española para la Ciencia y la Tecnología (FECYT) concluye que el 51,05% de las personas encuestadas admite haber sufrido insultos o mensajes amenazantes. Los ataques son más habituales hacia las mujeres científicas.
