Expect more extreme hurricanes on the East Coast due to faster ice melts in Greenland, study says

A new study warns that the East Coast of Canada can expect more extreme hurricanes due to faster ice melts in Greenland. The study suggests that Greenland ice has hit a new tipping point with unprecedented melting since the early 2000s, which will have consequences for East Coast cities. There is a lot of "unusual melting" going on in Greenland's southwest region, according to a geophysicist.
