Greenland's Melting Ice Sheet Reveals a Chilling Future
The Chilling Discovery
A recently discovered ice core taken from beneath Greenland's ice sheet decades ago has revealed a disturbing truth: rising ocean temperatures have caused the ice to rapidly melt, contributing to a significant portion of the current sea level rise globally.
A Bleak Picture
The scientists' findings paint a chilling picture for the future. Their results show that Earth's oceans are already locked into nearly 108 inches of sea-level rise, with Greenland's ice sheet being a major culprit.
In a vivid account, the edge of Greenland's ice sheet is described as a "big lick of sludgy white frosting" spilling over a rise, highlighting the extent of the melting.
