Greenland and Antarctica ice melt accelerating, pushing sea levels higher

Mongabay: A massive team of scientists have used multiple methods to provide the best assessment yet of ice loss at the world's poles, including Greenland and a number of Antarctic ice sheets. Their findings-that all major ice sheets are shrinking but one; that ice loss is speeding up; and that this is contributing to the rise in sea levels-add more evidence to the real-time impacts from global climate change. Melting ice sheets at the poles have raised sea levels 11.1 millimeters, or about 20 percent of observed......
