Climate Nexus: Diminishing Arctic sea ice could make Greenlands melting even worse, a new study shows. Changing temperatures at the poles driven by global warming have the potential to impact the jet stream, causing it to bend further north than usual. Blocking events caused by the jet stream that exacerbate ice melt have become increasingly common over Greenland since the 1850s. Accelerating Greenlands melt could not only cause increased sea level rise but a slew of other climate impacts connected to changing...
