A new study suggests that Greenland’s glaciers are melting at a rate three times as fast as 60 years ago. As scary as that sounds, two scientists at Ohio State University warn the situation is even worse.
Jason Box and David Bromwich, of the OSU Byrd Polar Research Center, say figures published in the current issue of the journal Science are too conservative.
They say melting glaciers are raising sea levels as much as 50 percent faster than the Science paper indicates.
