60000,000 tons per day!

This summer, many countries in the northern hemisphere encountered high temperature "baking" inspections, and many places refreshed high temperature poles. In most areas, Greenland is located within the Arctic Circle, and glaciers have melted at unprecedented speeds.

According to the US CNN reported on the 20th, the abnormal warm weather in the northern part of Greenland recently prompted the rapid melting of glaciers, and it can be seen that Rongshui River flows into the ocean. Scientists said that the local temperature has recently been around 60 degrees (about 15.56 degrees Celsius), which is much higher than the normal temperature at the same time.

According to data from the National Ice and Snow Data Center, from July 15th to 17th, Greenland's melting ice volume (6 billion tons per day) is enough to fill 7.2 million Olympic standard swimming pools. Change the algorithm, which is enough to cover one foot (30.48 cm) in West Virginia.

Teds Skobos, a senior research scientist at the University of Colorado National Ice and Snow Data Center, said that from the average climate level of the past 30 to 40 years, the melting of the past week is abnormal, "but melting has been increasing."

It is reported that every summer, scientists are worried that a record of a record in 2019 will occur again -at that time, 532 billion tons of ice melted into the sea. The warmth of that year and the heat waves in July caused almost the surface of the ice sheet to melt, and the global sea levels permanently rose by 1.5 mm. There are enough ice on Greenland -if all melted, it can increase the global sea level 7.5 meters.
