Would you ever think that thunderstorms in one area have something to do with land in a totally different area? Well people in Greeland say now that they have never heard thunder but know of it because they have seen it in movies. This is not known for sure but scientists believe that every crack of thunder is cracking ice in Greenland. Greenland is now melting at a rapid rate and it's faster than scientists thought it would. The reason that all of this is a threat. If it all does all melt than the oceans will raise 23 more feet higher than usual. This is enough to flood New York, London, and all the small islands in between. Now because of global warming it is melting faster than anywhere in the world. The global warming is known to be caused because of humans using fossil fuels. Greenland is one of world's biggest islands and if it melts it can be a disaster. In the last 30 years Greenland's melting zone has increased by 30%. Greenland's ice cap is about 624,000 cubic miles and it is a 10th of the world's fresh water. In the winter temperatures are getting colder but the summer temperatures are remaining the same. Two or three melted icebergs could be enough water supply for New York for a year. Greenland melting can be a huge natural disaster and can affect many continents. The greatest thing that could happen at this point is that it doesn't melt anymore.
