A study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that increases in salinity in seawater ...

This means eddies of warm water could eat away at Antarctica's ice, posing a major concern for the stability of Earth's climate system. Faster ice-melt means faster sea-level rise.

Naughten noted that the deep ocean water around Antarctica is about 33.8 degrees Fahrenheit (1 degree Celsius), so it's not actually particularly warm, but it's warmer than the freezing point of ...
