If #GreenhousGases continue to increase over the next 50 years, the ice on #Greenland will melt.
All this water will enter the world’s oceans leading to a global sea level rise of up to 7m.
This would expose millions of people across the world to coastal #flooding and destroy a lot of beautiful beaches.
The ice on Greenland is freshwater. Adding this to the seas will affect ocean currents and create more unpredictable weather.
This would be bad news for food production.
