Earth’s Most Famous Climate Scientist Issues Bombshell Sea Level Warning – University of Montana researcher Joel Harper chronicling changes in Greenland’s glaciers

Glaciers in Greenland and Antarctica will melt 10 times faster than previous consensus estimates, resulting in sea level rise of at least 10 feet in as little as 50 years.
