When you add to this fact that Greenland ice is melting at 5 times the rate of just a few years ago and that during this time they have dumped 26 Lake Tahoe's of water into the ocean (Lake Tahoe is pretty big and very deep). So, this is one of the many reasons (including the Arctic and Antarctica melting off that Hurricane Sandy could destroy or damage 300,000 homes recently. And as the rate of melting of ice continues I'm wondering at what point all ice melts off in the fall in the north and whenever it melts out in the south, what happens then? I think the most useful answer is that the air and water then begin to heat up in exponential ways which will increase storms, and droughts and winds exponentially too. And, likely because of this, eventually human populations will begin to decrease from this worldwide.
