        In less that 100 years. More the Arctic in melting, more the level of water is increasing (20 cm since 1880) . Since 1979, the thickness of the ice have decreased by 40% and since 2007 we have lost 18% more of the ice superficial (I think since 1979 a total of 49%).
        It is going really quick and the consequences are harmful for earth.
