Caption

Long-term response of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets to global warming. Ice volume changes are expressed as percentages relative to preindustrial conditions. Circles represent the Antarctic ice sheet, while squares represent the Greenland ice sheet. Symbol shading indicates global mean temperature changes relative to preindustrial conditions, and larger symbols mark the final states of each simulation. The inset map shows Antarctica’s final ice-sheet configuration under high-CO₂ conditions.
