Greenland’s glaciers are melting 100 times faster than estimated
“Scientists are getting a better handle on how fast Greenland’s ice is flowing out to sea. Old models that used Antarctica as a baseline were way off the mark.”
“Doomsday glacier” hanging on “by its fingernails,” scientists say
“The loss of a glacier the size of Florida in Antarctica could wreak havoc on the world as scientists expect it would raise global sea levels up to 10 feet. It’s already melting at a fast rate — and scientists say its collapse may only rapidly increase in the coming years.
The Thwaites Glacier is the widest on Earth at about 80 miles in width. But as the planet continues to warm, its ice, like much of the sea ice around Earth’s poles, is melting. The rapidly changing state of the glacier has alarmed scientists for years because of the “spine-chilling” global implications of having so much additional water added to the Earth’s oceans, sparking its nickname of the “doomsday glacier.””
