It is estimated that 197 billion tons was lost in July, raising sea levels by 0.5mm. Scientists warn of a "self-reinforcing vicious cycle. Melting snow and ice darken the ice sheet’s surface, enabling it to absorb more heat and melt at a higher rate." See here. How many radians are in an ice sheet? Tom L Cui bono? |
