El estado de la capa de hielo de Groenlandia

NASA scientists have been studying the effects of global warming on Greenland's ice for over a decade. Using satellites and lasers, they measure ice thickness and movement. They discovered that 100 billion tons of ice melt annually, and the Peterman Glacier's speed has doubled in five years. This rapid melting is attributed to global warming, which causes meltwater to lubricate the ice, accelerating its movement. Similar changes are observed in Alaska and Antarctica, posing a threat to sea levels and habitats. If the melting continues, the consequences could be catastrophic.

What role does meltwater play in the dynamics of the Greenland ice sheet?

What could be the potential consequences if the Greenland ice sheet continues to melt at its current rate?
