What will happen when the snow melts in the mountains of North America?

The headwaters of mountain streams will dry up. The biggest worry is the ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica melting. Both are overlaid on land and and can be up to 3 km thick. Arctic permafrost melting is also a huge problem because of the release of huge amounts of carbon dioxide. This is what is called a tipping point and is something we are trying to avoid although there are many sceptics saying 'don't worry'
