A new scientific study finds that Greenland and Iceland together shed 11.3 trillion tonnes of ice over the past five decades, a measure of accelerating melt in the North Atlantic region. Climate commentators are amplifying the findings, framing the loss as a major driver of sea-level rise and changes in ocean circulation and weather patterns.
Why now: Fresh research quantifying five decades of dramatic ice loss speaks to ongoing concern about climate change and sea-level rise.
