A new study paints a bleak picture of Greenland's future.
Greenland is one of the most vulnerable places on the planet to global warming. According to data, it lost up to 255 gigatonnes of ice per year between 2003 and 2016.
Scientists have observed that the southernmost part of the ice sheet is melting the fastest. The statement reveals that air and water temperature, ocean currents, precipitation, and other underlying factors all influence how and where the ice sheet melts. In terms of temperatures, previous observations suggested that a global temperature increase of one to three degrees Celsius could cause the Greenland Ice Sheet to melt irreversibly.
“We cannot continue carbon emissions at the same rate for much longer without risking crossing the tipping points. Most of the ice sheet melting won’t occur in the next decade, but it won’t be too long before we will not be able to work against it anymore,” said Höning, who led the study.Understanding the future fate of the Greenland Ice Sheet in the context of anthropogenic CO2 emissions is crucial to predict sea level rise.

Alarming Decline: Over 3,000 Billion Tons of Ice Lost From Antarctic Ice Sheet Over 25 YearsAccording to scientists, the Amundsen Sea Embayment, which is the fastest-changing region in Antarctica, has experienced a loss of more than 3,000 billion tons of ice in 25 years. If all this ice were to be stacked, it would tower over 2 km tall, which is equivalent to 7.4 times the height of the Sh

Greenland to stay in daylight saving time foreverResidents of Greenland have switched to daylight saving time and moved their clocks one hour forward this weekend for the very last time. Unlike most of Europe, Greenlanders will leave their clocks untouched come autumn when daylight saving time ends. While Europe and the U.S. debates whether to stick to the twice-yearly practice, Greenland - a vast Danish semi-independent territory in the Arctic - has resolved to perennially remain only three hours behind Copenhagen and most other European countries instead of four.
