THE QUICKENING

Greenland ice sheet melts at unprecedented rate

 

Scientists at Nasa admitted they thought satellite readings were a mistake after images showed 97% surface melt over four days

 

The Greenland ice sheet melted at a faster rate this month than at any other time in recorded history, with virtually the entire ice sheet showing signs of thaw.

 

The rapid melting over just four days was captured by three satellites. It has stunned and alarmed scientists, and deepened fears about the pace and future consequences of climate change.
