Jason Box, the lead author of the study, a glaciologist at the Greenland survey, said it's "like a foot in the grave." "
Such a rise in sea level "will have enormous social, economic, and environmental impact
One of earth's two giant ice sheets is slowly shrinking due to climate change from the burning of coal, oil, and natural gas.
