shrinking Greenland glacier

Greenland's glaciers are melting at a rate faster than anticipated. In fact, the melting glaciers are adding 58-trillion gallons of freshwater to our oceans every year...more than twice the rate of just ten years ago. All that freshwater being dumped into the oceans and could impact our weather. The oceans are a huge driver in weather across the globe. And as the mix of salt and freshwater in our oceans changes, storm tracks are expected to shift. In fact, those storm tracks have already started shifting. Weather patterns will be affected.
