January 2009: NASA Finds More Evidence for Greenhouse Warming
In an updated report from NASA, the agency stated that a more recent study reveals that ice is melting across our globe at accelerating rate.
Approximately 2 trillion tons of ice have melted from the areas of Greenland, Antarctica, and Alaska since the year 2003. NASA scientists calculated that this amount of lost water could fill up Chesapeake Bay 21 times.
The majority of the lost ice came from the area of Greenland, where water from this melted ice has raised global sea levels by .5 mm each year.
The conclusion to this latest study, NASA scientist say, is the fact that our sea levels are rising 50 percent faster than 15 years ago. -ehw
