Greenland Witnesses Rainfall For The First Time In History: Scientists
The highest point of Greenland witnessed rainfall instead of snow for over two days last week. Rainfall in Greenland is regarded as one of the dangerous effects of climate change as scientists haven't recorded rainfall ''since record-keeping began in 1950''. The rainfall on ice raises the melting rate of snow. Earlier, the IPCC warned in its report that the global sea levels will increase by about 24 feet.
