Scientists have slashed their forecasts for Greenland's resilience to global warming. Its ice sheet could enter an irreversible spiral of melting at just 1.6 degrees of warming.
A new computer simulation by scientists at Germany's Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and the Universidad Computense de Madrid has calculated that Greenland's ice is likely to be more vulnerable to global warming than previously assumed.
The study, published in Nature Climate Change, said warming of 1.6 degrees Celsius is likely to be enough to tip Greenland into an irreversible spiral of melting.
