Greenland ice loss double in past decade, Nasa says

The loss of ice from Greenland doubled between 1996 and 2005, as its
glaciers flowed faster into the ocean in response to a generally warmer
climate, according to a NASA/University of Kansas study being published
Friday. The study concludes the changes to Greenland's glaciers in the
past decade are widespread, large and sustained over time. They are
progressively affecting the entire ice sheet and increasing its
contribution to global sea level rise.
