Greenland’s ice sheets contain enough fresh water to raise sea levels over twenty feet.
While this is not an immediate threat, the latest research shows that #Greenland’sGlaciers are shrinking at seven times the rate of just a few years ago, an average of 30 million tonnes an hour.
Fresh water entering the ocean from this melting has major implications for
the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation , or #AMOC, which is critical to maintain global weather patterns. Peter Wadhams, Emeritus Professor of Ocean Physics at Cambridge University and Climate Scientist, Paul Beckwith describe what is happening on this sensitive continent.
