1) Since 1975 (start of Industrial Revoloution) Greenland's Ice sheets melting each summer has increased by 30%.
2) Now, Greenland's ice cap is losing 100-150km3 of ice every year
3) It is retreating further and faster than many experts predicted
Since 1992 Greenland's ice caps have shown:
-Winter temperatures are 5C Higher
-Spring + Autunm temps are 3C higher
-Ice is melting faster each year
-Ice is moving from mountains to the Oceans more quickly. Once has doubled its speed to about 15km a year since 1995, while its top has retreated 10km.
-Ice is moving faster towards the sea and melting more quickly as it does
