Greenland Fossils Reveal Ice Sheet's Fragility and Potential Sea-Level Rise

New evidence suggests Greenland's ice melted in the recent geological past, raising concerns about future climate impacts.

Scientists discovered pristine plant and insect fossils in a deep ice core from Greenland's center.
The findings confirm that Greenland's ice sheet melted during a warm period within the last million years.
This discovery indicates that Greenland's ice sheet is more fragile than previously thought.
If Greenland's ice melts completely, it could result in a significant rise in global sea levels.
The study emphasizes the need for urgent action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
