Between 1.5 trillion and 2 trillion tons of ice in Greenland, Antarctica and Alaska has melted at an accelerating rate since 2003, according to NASA scientists, in the latest signs of what they say is global warming.

Using new satellite technology that measures changes in mass in mountain glaciers and ice sheets, NASA geophysicist Scott Luthcke concluded that the losses amounted to enough water to fill the Chesapeake Bay 21 times.
"The ice tells us in a very real way how the climate is changing," said Luthcke, who will present his findings this week at the American Geophysical Union conference in San Francisco, California.

Is The Melting Of Ice Cap A Snowball Effect? No?


According to the answer of another question regarding the melting of the ice cap. NASA scientist Bill Krabill estimates that Greenland may already be losing ice at the rate of about 50 cubic kilometres a year.
Other articles found in the National Geographics also suggest that as the ice cap melts and thin out, the thin edges becomes less efficient to reflect light and thus take in more energy, leading the ice to melt even faster. Now, we can definately do our part to save energy and reduce CO2 emission, and slow down global warming (probably), but can we stop the melting of ice cap?
