Global Warming is stealing the Antarctic Meteorites: “Using artificial intelligence to combine satellite observations of the continent with climate model projections, the scientists calculate that for every tenth of a degree of increase in global air temperature, 5,100 to 12,200 meteorites are lost from the surface of the ice sheet.” -quote from AAAS Eureka Alert publication April 8, 2024.
