Due to the 21st century global warming, the Greenland ice sheet may add more than a few meters to sea-level rise in the centuries ahead; however, effective climate change alleviation measures will significantly lessen its decay.
The fate of the Antarctic ice sheet beyond the 21st century under current global warming trends was modelled by a team of researchers led from Japan's Hokkaido University.
Scientists predict that continued global warming under current trends could lead to an elevation of the sea level by as much as five meters by the year 3000 CE.

The research, conducted by a team led by the University of Leeds and published in the journal The Cryosphere, revealed that a total of twenty-eight trillion metric tons of ice was lost between 1994 and 2017. In the 1990s, the planet’s ice was melting at a rate of about seven hundred sixty billion tons per year—but in the 2010s, that figure surged 60 percent to an average of 1.2 trillion tons each year. “The ice sheets are now following the worst-case climate warming scenarios set out by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change,” lead author Thomas Slater, a research fellow at th...
