Greenland Ice Sheet melting faster
A new study has suggested that the Greenland Ice Sheet is melting faster than previously believed, and as a result, freshwater runoff from the area will more than double by the end of the century.
Arctic sea ice melted 50 percent faster than the average rate during May 2010, with combined global land and ocean surface temperature being the warmest on record for the period from January-May, studies have suggested.
