Greenland 'Zombie Ice' Threatens To Raise Global Sea Levels 10 Inches

The video discusses the Greenland ice sheet, also known as doomed ice, which is melting due to climate change. This melting is expected to cause significant global sea level rise. The Arctic is warming at a rate three times the global average, exacerbating the issue. Even with immediate action on greenhouse gas emissions, the ice is projected to melt by the end of the century, leading to a potential 30-inch rise in sea levels. The video also explains the concept of water movement on Earth, likening it to a giant bubble that shifts but ultimately affects all land areas.

What is the primary reason the Greenland ice sheet is referred to as 'doomed ice'?

• It is destined to melt regardless of actions taken.

• It is growing at an unprecedented rate.

• It is located in a region with no snowfall.

• It is the smallest ice sheet on the planet.

How much is the sea level expected to rise due to the melting of zombie ice?

• 20 inches

• 11 inches

• 5 inches

• 30 inches

What is the rate of warming in the Arctic compared to the global average?

• Half the global average

• Equal to the global average

• Three times the global average

• Twice the global average

What is the predicted consequence if greenhouse gas emissions are not reduced?

• The Arctic will cool down.

• The ice sheet will stabilize.

• Sea levels will rise by 11 inches.

• The entire ice sheet will melt, causing a 30-inch rise in sea levels.

What analogy is used to explain the concept of rising sea levels and receding waters?

• A giant bubble

• A melting ice cube

• A spinning top

• A flowing river
