EMBARGOED UNTIL 2 P.M., EST, THURSDAY, NOV. 29 - This handout image provided by Ian Joughin, shows surface melt water rushing along the surface of the Greeland Ice Sheet through a supra-glacial stream channel on July 4, 2012, southwest of Ilulissat, Greenland. Polar ice sheets are now melting three times faster than in the 1990s, but so far that's added just less than half an inch to already rising global sea levels, a new giant scientific study says. While the amount of sea level rise isn't as bad as some earlier worst case scenarios, the acceleration of the melting, especially in Greenland, has ice scientists worried. (AP Photo/Ian Joughin)
