Nick Breeze of Envisionation is a climate change journalist and interviewer. In September, he interviewed Professor Jason Box, a glaciologist at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland. Professor Box. In the interview, Box revealed how the largest ice shelf in Greenland had just lost an area of ice shelf the size of Manhattan. He described the event as 'spectacular' and warned that it is highly abnormal and raises alarms about the Arctic system and sea level rise.
Greenland’s glaciers are not simply melting they are crumbling and falling apart. We have seen massive chunks of ice cracking off the front edges of glaciers where the icebergs plunge into the ocean. It is not simply warming that is causing these calving events. The glaciers no longer flow at a glacial pace, but instead are flowing faster and faster due to changes in their dynamics, they are thinning from the top and below, they are breaking apart, retreating and dumping ice into the ocean.
