Nature World News: Each summer, Greenland's ice sheet - measuring three times the size of Texas - begins to melt. Pockets of melting ice form hundreds of large, supraglacial lakes on the surface of the ice. Many of these lakes drain through cracks and crevasses in the ice sheet, called moulins, creating a liquid layer over which massive chunks of ice can slide.

The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) said Wednesday that its report is one of the first to tie the prevalence of ragweed pollen symptoms to climate change.
