abnormal!The ice cover melts in large areas!Greenland is hot enough to wear short -sleeved shorts?Intersectionwhat does that mean?

According to the US Cable Television News Network on the 20th, due to the recent encounters of rare high temperature weather in many European countries, the ice cover covering Greenland, the largest island in the world is melting in large areas. During July 15th to 17th, the amount of ice is lost every day. It has reached about 6 billion tons, enough to fill 7.2 million Olympic swimming pools.

The Greening ice cover is the second largest ice cover in the world, with an area of ​​nearly 1.8 million square kilometers, second only to the Antarctic ice cover. The average temperature of the year is below 0 degrees Celsius. Generally speaking, June to early September of each year is the melting season of Greenland ice cover. However, in recent days, the extremely warm weather has led to the melting of Greenland's ice.

Cable Television News Network reporter Leine Mash: Today (19th) Greenland is very high, close to 60 Variety (about 15.5 degrees Celsius), which can make me wearing short -sleeved shirts to go out. This unusual heating temperature is melted (ice cover) melting.

The University of Texas at Greenland researchers Kuttar Meros Saraham: This makes me worry. Yesterday we even wore a shirt. This was what we didn't expect anyway.

Because the temperature was abnormal and the ice layer was soft, the aircraft could not rise and fall normally, and some of the local researchers who stayed in the local area even played volleyball wearing shorts.

According to data from the National Ice and Snow Data Research Center, from the 15th to 17th of this month, the Greenland Ice Card lost about 6 billion tons per day, which was enough to fill the swimming pool with 7.2 million Olympic specifications. Scientific researchers at the University of Texas's at the University of Greenland said that due to the rise in temperature, the total amount of ablation in Greenland ice sheet was very amazing, and he could even hear the melting sound in front of him.

Last year, a Danish researcher said that the Greenland ice cover accelerated after 2000. It is understood that most of the Greenland Island is located in the Arctic Circle, and about 80%of the land on the island is covered by the ice sheet. If the negative impact of climate changes such as high temperature continues, the Greenland ice sheets are all melted, and the global sea level will rise by 7.5 meters.

The World Meteorological Organization pointed out on the 19th that the rare high temperature weather that swept Europe in the future or become "standard" in summer in Europe. The negative impact of climate change such as high temperature will continue until the 1960s. Long time.
