This article reports that the Greenland ice cap could collapse many times faster than forecast, the U.S. government's top climate modeler has warned. In February 2006, the British government released a report saying that climate change was close to a tipping point that could trigger the ice sheet's collapse over the next thousand years, causing sea level to rise by seven meters worldwide. In a recent interview with the journal "New Scientist," Jim Hansen, the director of National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, said the collapse of the ice sheet could be explosively rapid.
