New Satellite Imagery Shows Extent of Ice Melt

The European Space Agency is using satellite imagery to document the status of ice floes around the world, from Greenland to Antarctica. The images illustrate just how quickly the world's ice is turning into water. VOA's Kevin Enochs reports.

Yes it is true. Over 800gt of ice lost in 2 weeks .. that is 800, 000, 000, 000 tons . That is a new melt record for June .. Exceeding the 2012 record …. Only 7 x that time to go until the melt season (unadjusted) ends. 7x 800gt = 5600gt. An increase of 50% from 2019 just from the Arctic … That means that a continued rapid melt would produce an Arctic Blue Ocean Event (less than 1mkm2) this year …. WASF

Where are the photos before and after with dates of the glaciers for example???

I am wondering if Greenland should go solar panels and plant trees to reduce the amount of melting ice.

Can the Voice of America say out loud that the US government uses the cleanest fuel everyday but restricts it's use to civilians ? We won't solve global warming until we can do that

A freaking month ago they said it was growing again. Fake News.
