Greenland’s Melting is at a ’Tipping Point’

Greenland’s Huge ice sheet is melting at an alarming rate is according to scientist is now at a tipping point, in a study published on Monday. If Greenland ice sheet Melts it will have a major impact on sea level rise. Artic is warming at an accelerated rate compared to rest of the planet in some cases at more than twice the speed, and this is exponential warming, that means warming one year causes artic to loose more ice exposing more sea to warmer temparature which in turn warms up the sea which causes increase warming. According to study scientific estimates of the effects of a warming planet have been, if anything, too conservative. A separate study of ice loss in Antarctica found that the continent is contributing more to rising sea levels than previously thought. Fact is we cannot predict the impacts of climate change exactly. Its like disturbing a perfectly balanced natural cycle which in turn can have unpredictable impacts which depends on many variables.
