melt rate
Sounds like a whole lot of ice melting. Just out of curiosity, what percentage of the entire amount of ice in greenland (you know, that if all melted would cause the seas to rise by 6m) actually melted? Its one thing to think about it in terms of being the size of the alps, but just how much of Greenland's total ice is that?
Also curious about where China is getting all that coal -- does this mean that our coal prices are likely to jump, and following on, energy prices getting pushed up in the West? I'd guess that it would, but don't really know.
