Alun
Hubbard, a glaciologist, spends a lot of time on the Greenland
ice sheet, and he does some of the most dangerous scientific
work I have ever seen. That includes rappelling down into
moulins – the deep holes that meltwater rivers bore through
the ice sheet. He describes the scene below the surface and
the way millions of deep cracks in the ice are allowing water
to deteriorate the ice sheet from the inside as global
temperatures rise. That meltwater and Greenland’s accelerating
ice loss have widespread impacts for coastal communities
around the world. The photos alone will send chills up your
spine.
Stephen
Khan in London adds: France has been gripped by riots in
recent days following the police shooting of a teenage boy. Click
here for analysis of the crisis. And as Australia go 2-0
up in the Ashes series of Test cricket after a dramatic and
controversial match in London, we consider England's cavalier
style. It may not quite be winning them Ashes Tests
(yet?), but it is winning the sport new
fans. |

are discovering new ways surface meltwater alters the internal
structure of ice sheets, and raising an alarm that sea level
rise could be much more abrupt than current models
forecast. |

The
‘nervous nineties’ captures the idea that batters with
90 or more runs become anxious as get close to scoring
a century. But is it true?
