Greenland’s Ice sheet Melting beyond “Point of No Return”

According to a recent study published by a team of researchers from the Ohio State University, the world’s second largest body of ice, the Greenland Ice Sheet, is melting at an unprecedented rate due to rising temperatures induced by climate change, and may now be past the point of no return.

Key Highlights

• Greenland’s glaciers are melting at such a rapid rate that it is difficult for the annual Snowfall to restock it any longer.
• Notwithstanding, the containment of climate change somehow, the Ice Sheet will continue to lose ice.
• Complete melting of the ice sheet could raise sea levels 23 feet ....
