Nearly half of Greenland’s ice sheet began melting toward the end of last week after an unprecedented warm spell hit the Arctic region. Temperatures climbed more than 40 degrees above average, causing an estimated 2 billion tons of ice loss. Ted Scambos, senior research scientist at the University of Colorado at Boulder’s Earth Science Observation Center, joined CBSN to discuss, in the video “Greenland experiences severe ice melting“, below:

There is no avoiding of warming this century. However, we can control how fast and how extreme it will be warming. According to Dr. Scambos, “we can put the breaks on….”

The European Space Agency is using satellite imagery to document the status of ice floes around the world, from Greenland to Antarctica. The images illustrate just how quickly the world’s ice is turning into water. VOA’s Kevin Enochs reports, in the video “New Satellite Imagery Shows Extent of Ice Melt” in June 2019, below:

Greenland’s Inuit people have been living on the ice for thousands of years, but in the winter of 1963, they noticed glaciers melting in the winter for the first time. Decades later, a team of NASA scientists would be the first to prove that Greenland’s ice sheet was, in fact, melting. Now, during a time of unprecedented change in the Earth’s climate, NASA’s Operation IceBridge scientists are gathering data in Greenland to help the world understand how ice melt impacts people around the globe—most dramatically—by extreme weather events like the hurricanes of 2017, in the video “Why NASA Is Tracking Greenland’s Ice Melt” in Jan. of 2018“, below:

Big nations might be struggling to avoid a two-degree temperature rise but the Arctic island of Greenland is welcoming it. A beautiful look inside how the island nation has changing attitudes about climate change, in the video “Greenland: The Land Of Ice Embracing Climate Change, Foreign Correspondent“, below:

Policies need to be decided based on facts, not politics.
