"Greenland's Ice Loss: A Growing Threat to the Planet's Climate"

A study shows that Greenland has lost an area of ice 36 times the size of New York City in the past three decades, leading to significant vegetation growth and wetland expansion. Warmer temperatures have driven ice loss, causing permafrost melt and releasing carbon dioxide and methane, contributing to further global warming. The loss of ice is creating a feedback loop, with serious consequences for climate change and sea level rise. This trend poses challenges for indigenous populations relying on natural ecosystems for survival and contributes substantially to global sea level rise.
