Take a Cool Guess—The Fun Quiz on Renewable Energy and Environmental Sustainability. Today’s Topic: The Greenland Ice Sheet
Question: The Greenland Ice Sheet lost almost 600 billion tons of ice last year. How much sea-level rise did that cause?
Answer (along with calculations): Can be found at Clean Energy Answers.
Relevance: Though it’s not huge, it’s not insignificant either. If the Greenland Ice Sheet melts completely, it would cause a 24-foot rise in the Earth’s oceans, which will make the current globe unrecognizable.
