“A massive ice sheet in Greenland is set to raise global sea levels by nearly a foot by 2100, in a melting event driven by human-caused climate change, according to a study published on Monday.”
Greenland ice loss will raise sea levels by nearly one foot: study
Over the past twelve months, Greenland’s surface gained more ice than the 1981-2010 average for the fourth time in the last six years.
I remember when scientists were talking about spreading soot on the ice to melt it.
I wonder what affect covering the land in black solar panels will have on local temperatures. The hotter it gets the more solar panels we need and the more solar panels the hotter it gets?
Excuse my ignorance, but I have an honest question. Where does the water come from that is causing current sea level rise? I believe rise is approximately 2-3 mm/year. Am I correct? Or is this a great unknown where the water comes from?

Tony,
did you delete my comment about the Swiss study showing 50% glacier loss since 1931?
What gives?
