"Greenland's immense ice sheet has lost enough ice in the past 20 years to submerge the entire United States in half a meter of water, according to data released this week by Danish researchers.
The climate is warming faster in the Arctic than anywhere else on the planet and melting ice from Greenland is now the main factor in the rise in the Earth's oceans, according to NASA. [This] has contributed 1.2 centimeters to sea level rise.
Melting ice from Greenland is currently the main factor in the rise in the Earth's oceans and the territory's glaciers are now retreating six to seven times faster than they were 25 years ago.
Climate change is particularly alarming in the Arctic, which scientists say is warming at a rate three to four times the global average."
