TL;DR Summary

Greenland's ice sheet is melting at an accelerating rate, with projections indicating a loss of 964 to 1735 gigatons of ice annually by 2100 under high greenhouse gas emissions scenarios. This could result in a sea level rise of up to one meter, threatening millions in coastal areas. The study, using three regional climate models, highlights the need for improved models to better predict future impacts and underscores the urgency of reducing emissions to mitigate irreversible ice loss.
