| Greenland and parts of Antarctica are losing large volumes of ice to the oceans as their glaciers get thinner, a Nasa satellite has revealed. All of the glaciers that are changing rapidly are ones that flow into the sea. "The fact that they end in the sea means a buoyancy effect is working on them. As glaciers thin, they float better, and with less frictions, they slide into the sea faster. As glaciers thin, they reach a Tipping Point, and flow to the sea faster than they build up. source |
The mission of The 2050 Project is to provide accurate, useful, long-range forecasts and information about the future of the planet. Our favored forecast interval is to 2050 and beyond, because we believe that shorter-range forecasts cannot portray the magnitude of our impending problems, and thus can only guide half-steps toward solution.
