Accelerated Melting of Ice Sheets Threatens Sea Level Rise, Study Reveals
TL;DR Summary
Ice sheets on Greenland and Antarctica are melting at a faster rate than previously thought, with an annual loss of 410 billion tons of ice, driving sea level rise to an even greater extent. This could lead to coastal erosion, flooding, and water and sewer system problems. The impacts of this ice loss are felt by people living in coastal regions around the world.
