Greenland's Ice Sheet Approaches Dangerous Tipping Point Amid Rapid Melting
- Thursday February 27, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Greenland’s massive ice sheet is losing ice at an accelerating rate, with scientists warning that a global temperature rise of just 2°C could trigger irreversible collapse. The loss of 230 gigatons of ice per year is the estimated threshold for this tipping point. If melting continues at current rates, sea levels could rise by approximately 7 me...
