The video discusses a study published in Nature about the accelerating ice melt in Greenland. It highlights that the current melting rate matches the worst climate scenarios predicted by the UN. Since 1992, Greenland has lost 3.8 trillion tons of ice, raising sea levels by 1 cm, affecting millions. The study predicts a further 16 cm rise by 2100. Rising temperatures are turning ice into meltwater, accelerating the melting process. Additionally, glaciers are moving faster into Greenland's fjords, causing ice shelves to break into the ocean.
