Well worth the 18 minutes watching time, filled with solid information, sadly on the state of Greenland ice sheet and global affects.

University of Cambridge:
As the Arctic Ocean gets warmer, it causes the ice in the polar region to melt, which in turn affects global sea levels. As the ice melts, it exposes more of the ocean’s surface to the sun, releasing heat and raising air temperatures. As the Arctic continues to warm, it will melt the permafrost, which stores huge amounts of methane, a far more damaging greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.

“Beyond its viability threshold” Greenland ice is going away, now it just a matter of how fast. How fast does matter.
I didn’t know about Faster than Forecast.
