These stunning images of Greenland’s melting ice are a bleak depiction of a climate tragedy
In the wake of one of the biggest heat waves in recorded European history, Greenland’s melting ice accelerated dramatically.
Right now, Greenland is melting. As the world struggles to get greenhouse-gas emissions under control, oceans are storing the excess heat made by humankind’s bad choices. The warming ocean temperatures seep under the world’s ice sheets, causing the ice to collapse and the sea levels to rise. Greenland, home to the second-largest ice sheet in the world, is witnessing the impact right now.
