Greenland has lost more ice than previously thought: study

The Hindu

Climate change has caused Greenland’s ice sheet to lose 20% more ice than previously thought, according to research published Wednesday that used satellite imagery to track the retreat of glaciers over the past four decades. Previous studies have found that about 5,000 gigatons of ice has been lost from the surface of the Greenland ice sheet in the past two …

Our 'Scorched Planet' is getting hotter, and no one is immune to rising temperatures Author Jeff Goodell warns a new climate regime is coming: "We don't really know what we're heading into and how chaotic this can get." And one of the scary things that's happening right now - not just with heat, but heat is the clearest expression of …

New ice core analysis shows sharp Greenland warming spike

Associated Press

A sharp spike in Greenland temperatures since 1995 showed the giant northern island 2.7 degrees hotter than its 20th-century average, the warmest in more than 1,000 years, according to new ice core data. Until now Greenland ice cores -- a glimpse into long-running temperatures before thermometers -- hadn’t shown much of a clear signal of global warming on the remotest …

A sharp spike in Greenland temperatures since 1995 shows the giant northern island is 1.5 degrees Celsius hotter than its 20th-century average, the warmest it has been in more than 1,000 years, new ice core data show. What had been happening in Greenland is that natural weather variability — undulations because of an occasional weather system called Greenland blocking — …

Greenland could be vulnerable to climate change from both rising air and sea temperatures

Daily Mail

Climate change may be having more impact on the melting Greenland ice sheet than previously thought, new research suggests. 'But ice cubes in a drink will also melt faster if you stir the drink, and rising air temperatures in Greenland effectively result in a stirring of the ocean close to the ice sheet, causing faster melting of the ice sheet …

Rain on Greenland ice sheet signals climate change risk

Hindustan Times

Rain fell at the highest point on Greenland's ice sheet -- possibly for the first time -- in an event Danish scientists on Monday said was most likely driven by climate change. The rain was observed for several hours on August 14 at a measuring post more than 3,000 metres up on the sheet, the US Snow and Ice Data …

Past Ice Melts May Have Caused Seas to Rise 10 Times Faster than Today, Says Study

News 18

Ice sheet melting at the end of the last ice age may have caused sea levels to rise at 10 times the current rate, a study published Thursday by a team led by scientists from Britain’s Durham University said. The scientists say their work could offer “vital clues” about future ice sheet melting and sea level rises due to climate …

Earth's Ice Sheets are Now in Worst-case Zone, 28 Trillion Tonnes Lost in Less Than 25 Years

News 18

If the climate crisis seems like a distant threat to humankind then a recent research might put things into perspective. The research says that between 1994 and 2017, we lost 28 trillion tonnes of ice that is equivalent to a sheet of ice 100 metres thick covering the whole of the UK. Through their research, the scientists found that the …

Greenland’s glaciers could lose more ice than previously thought, raising concerns for sea level rise

CNN

CNN — Greenland’s largest glaciers could lose even more ice than previously predicted – a development that could have huge consequences for the rate of global sea level rise, according to a new study published Tuesday. David Holland, a professor of mathematics and environmental science at New York University and a co-author of the study, said the team’s findings show …

Winter Is Not Coming: 28 Trillion Tonnes Of Ice Has Melted on Earth Since 1994

News 18

Global warming might be a myth for some people. According to a recent research, the Earth has lost about 28 trillion tonnes of ice between the years 1994 and 2017. Large amounts of ice melting from Antarctica, Greenland and various glaciers are said to have contributed to a 3.5cm rise in global sea levels. These findings come almost a week …
