Factoid

Today's Factoid

This is the most recent factoid that has been added. Factoids come out Monday through Friday.

Positive feedback loop in the Antarctic, but in a bad way.

"New research has uncovered a feedback loop that may be accelerating the melting of the floating portions of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet... 'this deep current conveying warm waters toward the ice shelves is driven by the very same ice shelf melting that such warm waters cause.'" - Excerpt from University of Southampton
