According to a new study, the central–north region of Greenland experienced an average temperature increase of 1.5° c  between 2001 & 2011 compared to the 20th century. Human activities are likely responsible for this warming, according to the study, published in the journal Nature. The loss of ice may be accelerated due to human activities. Over 3 million cubic kilometers of water is held by the ice sheet. The Greenland ice sheet will cause a global sea-level rise of 50 centimeters by 2100, if greenhouse emissions continue at their current rate.This will lead to flooding in many coastal areas  around … Continue reading Greenland Ice Sheet’s Temperature at 1,000-Year High: Research Finds
