A new report released this week projects that global warming will cause sea levels to rise from three to five feet over the next 90 years. That would 2)inundate many coastal regions around the globe. The report says that much of the increase is gonna come from melting ice in the Arctic and Greenland.
The Greenland Ice Sheet is huge. If completely melted, its ice would raise global sea level by about 23 feet. No one expects that to happen in the foreseeable future. But the data collected have shown that the Greenland Ice Sheet is melting at an increasing rate. So many icebergs crash into the ocean that the edge of the ice sheet there has thinned like a 3)deflated air mattress. The same thing is happening to 4)glaciers all over Greenland.
Earlier this week a team of scientists from the eight Arctic countries released a comprehensive study of the region. It shows that the change isn’t limited to Greenland. The entire northern part of the world, from Alaska to Siberia, is warming and changing far faster than scientists had predicted just a few years ago. But to 5)paraphrase Bob Dylan, you don’t need a glaciologist to know which way the ice flows.
一份本周（5月6日）新鲜出炉的报告显示，全球气候变暖将导致海平面在未来九十年上升三至五英尺（约0.91米至1.52米），世界上许多沿海地区将会因此被淹没。该报告称，海平面上升很大程度上是由于北极和格陵兰岛的冰川融化。
格陵兰岛冰原面积广阔，如果它们全部融化，地球海平面将上升大约23英尺（约7米）。没有人认为这种灭顶之灾会在能预见的短期内出现。但收集到的数据显示，格陵兰岛冰原的消融速度在日益加快。许多冰山已经坍塌，掉入海洋中，导致冰原边缘部分已经薄得像漏气的气垫。整个格陵兰岛的冰川都出现了同样的情况。
本周早些时候，由北极圈地区的八个国家联合组成的科考小组发布了一份关于北极地区的详尽报告。报告显示不仅是格陵兰岛的情况在恶化，地球的整个北部地区，包括从美国阿拉斯加到西伯利亚，气候变暖的速度远比科学家们几年前估计的要快得多。借用鲍勃·迪伦的话，哪怕你不是冰河学家，也能知道融化了的冰会往哪里漂浮。
