A recent NASA study found that, if warming continues at its current rate, Greenland alone could contribute 63 inches (over 5 feet) to global sea-level rise in the next 200 years — enough to swamp Miami Beach, Atlantic City, New Orleans, and parts of Boston and New York City, to name a few. It’s not a far-away problem.
