Greenland losing 30m tonnes of ice an hour, study reveals
- Greenland's ice sheet has lost 20% more ice than previously estimated, with over 1,000 gigatons of ice lost over the past four decades.
- The retreat of glaciers in Greenland is occurring everywhere and without exception, according to glaciologist Chad Greene.
- Concerns are raised about the potential impact on global weather patterns and the disruption of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation due to the melting ice and influx of freshwater.

Greenland is losing more ice than we thought. Here's what it means for our oceans.
The Greenland ice sheet has lost 20 percent more ice than scientists previously thought, posing potential problems for ocean circulation patterns and sea level rise, according to a new study.
Greenland ice sheet likely shrinking 20 per cent faster than previously thought, NASA says
A study has found that the Greenland ice sheet lost one-fifth more mass than previously estimated, which could have implications for ocean currents that regulate temperatures in Europe and North America.
Greenland's ice loss is apparently more dramatic than previously thought. A new study warns of drastic global consequences.
Klimawandel: Grönland verliert 30 Millionen Tonnen Eis pro Stunde
Die größte Insel der Welt ist ins Schwitzen gekommen: Einer neuen Studie zufolge hat Grönland in den vergangenen knapp 40 Jahren 20 Prozent mehr Eis verloren als gedacht. Das könnte Folgen für den Golfstrom haben.
Scientists have estimated that the Greenland ice sheet has lost 5091 square kilometers of surface in four decades due to the disappearance of glaciers. A new study suggests that the melting of glaciers will have a major impact on the sea current, which brings heat to Europe.
