Melt enough Greenland ice, and you reach the point at which you're not simply dripping meltwater into the sea but dumping whole glaciers. By one recent measure, several Greenland ice sheets have doubled their rate of slide, and just last week the journal Science published a study suggesting that...
...Grim News from Greenland "Has the Meltdown Begun?" [Feb. 27] reported the discovery that Greenland's glaciers are melting faster than anyone expected. That is more proof of global warming, and the resulting rise in sea levels makes the immediate impact of climate change worse than anticipated. The glaciers are also receding at Glacier National Park, Montana. We are having milder winters in the Midwest, and tropical frog species are disappearing. What more evidence do we need?

...Weather Forecast Despite the uncertainty of the science of climate change, some effects of global warming are hard to ignore, like the unexpected meltdown of Greenland's glaciers and the extinction of frog species in the American tropics. TIME's Oct. 19, 1987, cover story provided an early warning about mankind's impact on the earth's climate...
