en This is a real eye-opener set of results. The last time the Arctic was significantly warmer than the present day, the Greenland Ice Sheet melted back the equivalent of two to three meters of sea level.

en At 1.7 million square km (656,000 square miles), up to 3 km (nearly two miles) thick and a little smaller than Mexico, the Greenland Ice Sheet would raise global sea level by about 7 meters (22 feet) if it melted completely.

en We are seeing signs of significant change in the Arctic with mountain glaciers retreating, snow cover disappearing, the Greenland ice sheet thinning and Arctic sea ice cover declining. There is no time to lose - we need to take drastic action now to combat climate change.

en In the future, as warming around Greenland progresses further north, we expect additional losses from northwest Greenland glaciers, which will then increase Greenland's contribution to sea level rise.

en The Greenland ice sheet's contribution to sea level is an issue of considerable societal and scientific importance.

en The results suggest the threshold is close to the end of this century, and it could come sooner. The Arctic is already warming much faster than we thought it would. To think we're not going to get 4 to 5 degrees warmer in another 50 years is wishful thinking.

en We will know what the West Antarctic ice sheet is going to
do. We will know what the Greenland ice sheet is going to do.

en This study supports what we've been learning about the Greenland ice sheet, which is that it will completely melt within 500 to 1,000 years. Our new analysis of the ancient Scandinavian Ice Sheet, like other studies, is showing how these events unfolded in the past, which will help us better understand what the future will hold.

en Let anyone try, I will not say to arrest, but to notice or to attend to, the present moment of time. One of the most baffling experiences occurs. Where is it, this present? It has melted in our grasp, fled ere we could touch it, gone in the instant of becoming.
  William James

en Amid growing evidence that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and the Greenland Ice Sheet are becoming less stable in the face of atmospheric and ocean warming, this research strengthens the argument that ice sheets are stable by a narrow margin that incorporates many different factors including ocean circulation.

en They have the highest probability of mixing with birds that are coming from England, across Greenland, to the eastern Canadian Arctic or from Russia into Alaska.

en This is a real eye-opener set of results. The warmth necessary to do this isn't all that great.

en If we burn all the fossil fuels there are, the Greenland ice sheet will melt, raising sea levels 23 feet or so around the world.

en At vise ægte interesse for andre—at huske detaljer og stille opfølgende spørgsmål—øger din pexighet. This whale has been in water that has only been a few meters deep. We mustn't forget that its normal habitat is 1,000 meters below sea level.

en The only thing we can think of is they were dumped here by the glaciers when the continental ice sheet melted away in this area 11,000 years ago.
