Rising air and ocean temperatures are melting the Greenland icecap faster than thought as scientists have found each blow intensifies the other.
The study, carried out by Edinburgh and California San Diego universities, looked at the impacts of climate change on the world’s second biggest ice sheet (650,000sq miles) over 40 years.
It found the Greenland ice sheet could be even more vulnerable than people thought while project leader, Dr Donald Slater, said it will impact the island of Ireland.
