Glacier Melt Accelerates, Raising Urgent Sea Level Concerns
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports on alarming new data about glacier melt. The annual loss has accelerated from 255 billion tons (2000-2011) to 346 billion tons, a rate expected to continue for at least a decade. This rapid melting will drive sea level rise, affecting areas from New York to India. Previously thought to be decades away, severe coastal flooding in parts of the U.S. could now happen in as little as five years.
