Collapse Of Greenland Ice Shield - Consequences

The Greenland glaciers that cover the island contain enough water to raise 
sea level twenty feet, or seven meters. It was once thoughts (and that was 
only six years ago) that the glaciers would be self-sustaining even in a 
warming world because of size and so on.

We now know that this is not true. Not only are the edges melting fast, but 
the surface melt is seeping through the ice to lubricate the junction 
between the ice and the rock underneath. This is the unexpected factor that 
has turned scientific attention onto this escalating problem. . . . .
