The island is shedding 20 percent more than previously estimated, a study found, potentially threatening ocean currents that help to regulate global temperatures.
More that it takes a @#$@#$ long time to melt ice that’s thousands of feet thick. I don’t expect to lose all the ice on Greenland in two centuries, even on our current emissions trajectory.
there are specific pieces of ice which may well melt that fast, but none of the ice modeling teams thinks Greenland as a whole will fully melt in that kind of time frame
you may be underestimating the growth rate of greenhouse emissions

i agree it’s going to be more like decades.
