Greenland's melting ice threatens coastal cities far away
Scientists warn that melting glaciers in Greenland are causing sea levels to rise and will affect coastal areas like Florida.
Greenland's glaciers are melting quickly because the Arctic is getting much warmer. When glaciers melt on land, the water flows into the ocean and sea levels rise. Scientists predict that sea levels could rise more than seven feet by 2100.
This will cause serious problems for Florida and other coastal communities. The Arctic is warming four times faster than other parts of the world. Experts say we need to reduce pollution and protect our coasts.
People can help by using renewable energy and supporting nature-based solutions like wetlands and mangrove forests.
