the North and South Poles is melting even faster than environmentalists once feared. Ten years ago, scientists warned that the Artic Ocean could lose all its ice in about a hundred years. Now, they think it could happen much sooner. As climate scientist Mark Serreze says, "Reality is exceeding expectations."
The ice sheet of Greenland is also melting more quickly than scientists predicted. One of its largest glaciers,
Jakobshavn Isbre, is moving toward the sea faster than expected. In fact, the glacier is moving twice as fast
as it was in 1995. Rising air and sea temperatures are two well-known causes. Researchers have also
discovered other unexpected processes that cause glaciers to melt faster. For instance, water from melting
ice runs down cracks in the surface and gets between the ice and rock below. This makes it easier for the
glacier to slide into the warmer sea water.
Some researchers believe that the melting of Greenland's ice, if it continues, could add at least a meter to global sea levels by 2100. If the ice sheet of Antarctica continues to melt at its current rate, the next few centuries could see at least a two-meter rise in sea levels, forcing tens of millions of people out of their homes."
Question:
The accelerated melting of ice near the North and South Poles as well as the increasing speed of glaciers like Jakobshavn Isbre in Greenland support the argument that human-caused global warming is a pressing issue that requires immediate attention and action. How might the rising sea levels due to melting ice sheets impact coastal populations and ecosystems in the coming decades and centuries?
