Global warming has reached the top of the Greenland ice sheet

Air temperatures at the Greenland ice sheet have been reconstructed with unprecedented quality from an array of ice cores. The analysis shows that modern temperatures are 1.5 °C warmer than those of the twentieth century, and that this warming has been accompanied by increased run-off of Greenland meltwater.

This is a summary of: Hörhold, M. et al. Modern temperatures in central–north Greenland warmest in past millennium. Nature 613, 503–508 (2023).
