Global warming has caused extreme ice melting events in Greenland to become more frequent and more intense over the past 40 years. Over the past decade alone, 3.5 trillion tons of ice has melted from the island’s surface and has flowed downhill into the ocean. That’s enough melted ice to cover the entire UK with around 15 meters of meltwater, or cover all of New York City with around 4500 meters. Greenland’s meltwater runoff has risen by 21% over the past four decades and has become 60% more erratic from one summer to the next.
