A new study shows that additional precipitation cannot offset ongoing ice sheet mass loss, which is now locked in. Sea-level rise threatens approximately one billion people globally, with roughly one hundred million individuals living within one meter of current sea level and facing extreme vulnerability to coastal flooding. Researchers emphasize that while committed ice loss is unavoidable, aggressive emissions cuts remain vita
