Greenland is melting



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Every week, it seems there is more evidence of the impact of global warming. And, there seems to be an increased intensity with the new information. The Washington Post has another article on a dire environmental report -- this one on Greenland's melting glaciers:

Greenland's glaciers are melting into the sea twice as fast as previously believed, the result of a warming trend that renders obsolete predictions of how quickly the Earth's oceans will rise over the next century, scientists said yesterday.

The new data come from satellite imagery and give fresh urgency to worries about the role of human activity in global warming. The Greenland data is mirrored by findings from Bolivia to the Himalayas, scientists said, noting that rising sea levels threaten widespread flooding and severe storm damage in low-lying areas worldwide.
Meanwhile, the Bush Administration ignores reality and science. Bush is creating quite a legacy for himself.
