The Accelerating Threat of Global Sea Level Rise.

A new study has found that parts of a large, ancient ice sheet covering Eurasia retreated up to 2,000 feet per day at the end of the last ice age, which is the fastest measured to date. This could shed light on how fast ice can melt in Greenland and Antarctica if current climate trends continue. Researchers warn that if existing glaciers retreated around 600 meters per day for a year, there probably wouldn’t be any ice left, which would be devastating for global sea levels.
