Recently, the Ice Sheet Mass Balance Intercomparison Exercise (IMBIE) team revealed that regions in Greenland and Antarctica are loosing ice mass six times faster than than they were in the 1990s. The unprecedented rate of melting has been described to affect 400 million people by 2100. The IMBIE team used…
