Global Warming - Greenland

Climate Central: Greenland is Losing More Ice Than Scientists Thought
The Greenland ice sheet contains enough water that, if melted, would raise sea levels up to 23 feet.

Greenland is literally dissolving right before our eyes and I can see it every day where I live. It's going to change the coast in our lifetimes. I'm going to make a prediction here and it's based on observations of people I know who have visited Greenland recently. Within the next 10 yrs. the Ocean along the East coast is going to rise three Xs as fast as it has in the last 10 yrs. and then accelerate from there. By 2100 the coast as we know it won't exist. Whole islands and major cities will be going underwater. It's a calamity in the making and people have yet to digest it or even acknowledge it.

Well as nothing is going on to make any significant dent in CO2 emissions, we are getting sea level rise. How much and how soon? I agree, probably a lot more sooner than later as the planet is shifting quickly.
