Hunter Santana's insight:
This article discusses the loss of Greenland's ice and how is affects the global ocean currents and sea levels. The rate of the retreating of glacier is stated to gradually accelerating. This retreating allows more ice to flow more into the ocean causing sea level rises. This rise in ice flow has the Potental to affect ocean currents if it continues to occur.

It was interesting to learn that the Greenland ice sheet melting is affecting not only ocean sea level rise but also the global ocean current. It is a scary thought to realize that the ocean current has the ability to change our current climate and weather systems. I wonder what the earth would look like if all of the Greenland ice sheet has melted
