Here is a real concern. Is it man made though?
The Greenland ice sheet is losing its mass faster than in previous years and
making an increasing contribution to sea level rise, a study has confirmed. Published in the journal Science, it has also given scientists a clearer view of why the sheet is shrinking. The team used weather data, satellite readings and models of ice sheet behavior to analyse the annual loss of 273 thousand million tonnes of ice. Melting of the entire sheet would raise sea levels globally by about 7m (20ft). http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8357537.stm |
