"The polar ice caps are melting six times faster than in the 1990s,
according to the most complete analysis to date.

The ice loss from Greenland and Antarctica is tracking the worst-case
climate warming scenario set out by the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC), scientists say. Without rapid cuts to carbon
emissions the analysis indicates there could be a rise in sea levels
that would leave 400 million people exposed to coastal flooding each
year by the end of the century."
