| Global warming accelerates Greenland ice sheet melting |
|
Scientists estimate that Greenland ice sheet is disappearing at about 100 to 150 cubic km per year. If the ice cap, some 2.6 cubic km (accounting for a 10th of the fresh water in the world), melted entirely, oceans would rise by 7 meters, flooding New York and London, and drowning whole island nations like the Maldives.
