Greenland Ice Melt, Measured By NASA Satellites, Reaches Unprecedented Level

Greenland Ice Melt, Measured By NASA Satellites, Reaches Unprecedented Level:

"According to a NASA press release, about half of Greenland's surface ice sheet naturally melts during an average summer. But the data from three independent satellites this July, analyzed by NASA and university scientists, showed that in less than a week, the amount of thawed ice sheet surface skyrocketed from 40 percent to 97 percent.

In over 30 years of observations, satellites have never measured this amount of melting, which reaches nearly all of Greenland's surface ice cover."

Only a matter of time, alas.
