From Greenland to Bangladesh

The Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets together contain more than 99 percent of the freshwater ice on Earth. Greenland has been covered in ice for more than 18 million years. During the past 20 years, Greenland ice sheets have melted more than in any comparable period during the past 10,000 years. During the 2000s rate of Greenland ice melt is five times that of the 1990s. Melting in summer of 2012 was the most intense in recorded history of Greenland summers.

If the Greenland ice sheets melted completely, scientists estimate that sea level would rise about 20 feet. That would not be welcome news in Bangladesh.http://scienceblogs.com/gregladen/2013/04/29/bangladesh-and-sea-level-rise/
