The bad news: The melting is now speeding up. Over the next century, this could contribute to another 2- to 3-foot rise in sea level — enough to flood New York City every few years.

According to NASA, it's the biggest summer melt in more than 30 years. Wed, 25 Jul 2012 11:18:00 GMT /npr-news/2012-07-25/heat-dome-linked-to-greenlands-biggest-melt-in-30-years Mark Memmott
