Scientists Identify Tipping Point for Complete Greenland Ice Sheet Meltdown
A study in The Cryosphere identifies a critical tipping point where irreversible ice loss begins beyond 3.4°C warming. Researchers found that exceeding an annual ice loss of 230 gigatons could lead to near-total melting within millennia. Key factors include topography, glacial isostatic adjustment, and surface albedo feedback, highlighting the urgent need to mitigate climate change.

The ice withdraws, the waters rise, A mirror melts before our eyes. The ancient frost, once vast and deep, Now weeps into the restless sea. A world adrift, yet whispers low, The earth still tells us where to go. Where trees embrace, where rivers sing, Where seasons move in endless ring. To chase the storm, to fear the wave, Or walk the path the roots still pave? For in the land where wild runs free, The heart may learn its remedy.
