Sea levels are rising across the world. But in Greenland, scientists say they’re about to fall

Rising temperatures are causing sea levels to rise around the world, putting millions at risk of severe flooding and coastal erosion. But in Greenland, the opposite is happening.

Researchers at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, which is part of the Columbia Climate School, warn that sea levels around the autonomous island are actually projected to fall despite heat-trapping emissions triggering record ice melt.
