Photo: AFP RISES in sea levels are unlikely to be as high as worst-case scenarios have forecast, according to research that shows Greenland's glaciers are slipping into the sea more slowly than previously thought. But the scientists warned that ice loss had still increased by 30 per cent over the past decade and was driving rises in sea levels that endanger low-lying coasts. Along with Antarctica, the loss of ice from the huge Greenland ice cap is the biggest direct contributor to rising sea levels, pouring 250 billion tonnes of water into the oceans each year. But the predictions of future losses as global warming continues have been wide ranging and controversial. ''Previous studies only had a couple of observations from big glaciers,'' said Twila Moon, at the University of Washington in Seattle, who led the research.
