Greenland Ice Sheet's Past Melting Raises Future Concerns
• A study reveals the Prudhoe Dome ice cap in Greenland melted completely 7,000 years ago.
• Melting occurred when temperatures were only 3-5°C warmer than today, raising concerns about future sea level rise.
• The findings underscore the Greenland Ice Sheet's sensitivity to even modest climate changes.
