"Greenland Ice Sheet May Be More Vulnerable to Climate Change, Study Finds" [1]

"Climate change may be having more impact on the melting Greenland ice sheet than previously thought, new Scottish-led research suggests."

"The study found rising air temperatures amplify the effects of melting caused by ocean warming, leading to greater ice loss from the world’s second largest ice sheet.

Experts liken the effect to how ice cubes melt more quickly if they are in a drink that is being stirred – the combination of warmer liquid and movement accelerates the melting process."
