A study published on Monday showed that rapid melting of the Greenland ice sheet will eventually raise global sea levels by at least 10.6 inches (27 cm) – more than double what was previously expected. This is because of something that could be called zombie ice. This is doomed ice that, while still attached to thicker areas of ice, is no longer replenished by parent glaciers now receiving less snow. Without replenishment, ice exhausted by climate change will melt and will inevitably lead to sea level rise, said study co-author…
