Greenland Ice Sheet Could Recover from Melting with Climate Action, Study Finds

Recent studies reveal that the Greenland ice sheet could recover from melting, even after surpassing critical global warming levels, with prompt and extensive climate action. Climate researchers around the world are sounding the alarm about exceeding critical temperature values on the Earth. If temperatures pass what are called tipping points, the results could be catastrophic.

An international team of researchers, including members from the Technical University of Munich (TUM), has now demonstrated in simulations that the temperature tipping point for the Greenland ice sheet can be exceeded in certain cases for a short time, as long as extreme countermeasures are taken afterward. If the ice mass should melt entirely, the result would be a massive rise in the sea level.Greenland is the second largest permanently ice-covered surface on the Earth; only Antarctica is larger. The Greenland ice sheet is drastically impacted by the effects of climate chang
