John — do you want to hear something worrying? In a single weekend, enough ice melted off Greenland to cover all of West Virginia in a foot of water.
Here’s what’s going on: the current heatwave has caused Greenland’s ice sheets to rapidly melt, so much so that within two days, 6 billion tons of meltwater was flowing into the ocean per day.

The effects are already presenting both immediate and long-term consequences. A recent glacial avalanche killed 11 hikers in Italy this summer, and a 650-foot-long new crack has formed in the Marmolada Glacier – a trend that no climate change model on glacial melt has predicted. We are entering unknown territory with climate effects on melting ice sheets; catastrophic damage from falling rock, ice, and mudslides are all on the table.
This is a bad omen for sea level rise. If even more ice melts than the models predict, far more of the globe could be at risk than we realize. Greenland alone holds enough ice to raise 7.5 meters of sea level globally.
There’s no question, John, that widespread melting ice is causing big problems. Both short and long-term effects are appearing simultaneously, from the local destruction from avalanches to the rapid lifting of sea levels.
