Researchers say high temperatures in the Arctic are melting Greenland's ice sheets so rapidly that the ice melt from Tuesday of this week alone would be enough to cover the entire state of Florida in two inches of water.
The extreme melting, highlighted by the World Meteorological Organization, is not as bad as in 2019, but scientists say the area of land that is melting is larger this time around.

It would be enough to cover Florida in 2 inches (5 cm) of water
Not as extreme as 2019 in terms of gigatons but the melt area is a bit larger than 2 years ago.#ClimateChange#ClimateActionpic.twitter.com/Ai7RaWWebK— World Meteorological Organization (@WMO) July 29, 2021
