From second paragraph:
> Particularly, regions like West Antarctica, notably the Antarctic Peninsula, are undergoing significant warming. This warming is accelerating the loss of the Antarctic ice sheet, with profound implications not only for local ecosystems but also for global sea levels. Such changes pose a threat to numerous coastal cities and island nations worldwide.

I haven’t read this whole paper but isn’t this expected? I would think the ice absorbs warming, which shows up as icebergs. The lack of surface temperature changes itself doesn’t mean much.

Also measuring temperature changes over a long period of time is hard which is one of the reasons why it took so long to prove global temperatures are rising. It is not like they have a lot of well-maintained weather stations with consistent instrumentation. When you are doing a complex mash-up of remote sensing data with machine learning in the mix people will be skeptical.
I think it’s an OK paper but lousy title: if I rewrote a title that much I’d expect to get grief for it and that all-caps NO is definitely not HN culture. But there certainly is a tension between the phys.org title which is roughy “Scientists reach important conclusion” and the Nature title which is “We measured something”
