Greenland ice melt is accelerating exponentially whilst Antarctic ice is vanishing at its fastest rate in recorded history. This will have catastrophic consequences for life on Earth by 2029.
Is 'catastrophic' by 2029 an absurd exaggeration?

Well, no, it isn't:

⚠️ Greenland's ice melting alters air circulation leading to extreme weather like July 2019's heatwaves.

2029 heatwaves will be far worse and likely contribute to global crop failures.euronews.com/2019/08/01/gre…
Greenland’s ice sheet response to higher temperatures is now “nonlinear.”

In the last two decades, melting rates of the ice are 33% higher than 20th century averages.

Melting is increasing *and* accelerating.

Who sees this will affect humanity by 2029?e360.yale.edu/features/in-gr…
Antarctic and Greenland Melt will contribute to chaotic weather patterns in the near-term:

Extreme weather is behind some of the most dramatic effects of climate change. It's what sets the stage for catastrophic events like floods, droughts or wildfires.cbc.ca/news/technolog…
Greenland: especially vulnerable to melting because that area of Earth sees about 50% more warming than the global average. 🌡️

Sea level rise is set to be staggering by the 2030s:

When will journalists start talking about climate breakdown mainly in terms of the 2020s and 2030s?

Won't be long now, I reckon.

('On current trends, Greenland ice melting will cause 100 million people to be flooded each year by the end of the century..')
