Topic Reading-Vol.1472-4/22/2016
Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Greenland ice melt off to record early start
Another sign of accelerating global warming?
Greenland’s ice sheet is the second massive only after the one in
Antarctica. It melts in summer and refreezes in winter. If it melts more than refreezes,
sea levels will rise accordingly.
This year, the ice sheets have started melting earlier than before and
earlier than previously estimated. Now scientists are wondering if the
simulations they made need considerable adjustment or not.
But why are land ice sheets so critical to sea levels?
Enjoy reading the article and watching the video and learn the
mechanism of sea level rising.
