Greenland is unstable! New York, USA to disappear as sea levels rise?

The problem of glacier melting caused by global warming is becoming more and more serious, and the Arctic region is one of the larger areas of the global glacier coverage, but in recent years, the warming of the Arctic region is already "beyond expectation" state.

This is not, about the melting of the Arctic glaciers caused by sea level rise news again - mainly for the Greenland glacier problem, this study is also limited to the so-called "zombie ice" in the Greenland area to illustrate, although the intensity of this sea level rise It doesn't look like it's very big.

But it also raises concerns about sea level rise. So, how big the impact will be and how exactly we will be, is the question we need to look at. And this study has been published in the journal Nature.

It's not the first time that Greenland has been in the spotlight in 2022. The accelerated melting of Greenland's ice sheet and the world's richest people going for gold has sparked further concerns about Greenland.

Because after these people enter Greenland, not only will accelerate the melting of the region's glaciers, but also lead to the destruction of the local environment, and even release the ancient germs that have been frozen in Greenland for tens of thousands of years. Therefore, these changes are definitely not good for the survival of mankind.

At the same time, according to the climate change to Greenland, indeed, it is also stable. Before this report, NASA scientist Nathan Kurtz warned that not only the Greenland region is subject to increased melting of glaciers, but even the entire sea ice region of the Arctic.

It has been melting for the past few decades, and (if nothing more is done), Arctic sea ice may be completely gone within 30 years. So, the Arctic is unstable, the Arctic Ocean is unstable, and Greenland is unstable.

Since 1980, the climate in the Greenland region has been on the rise and is warming about 1.5 degrees per decade, four times faster than the global warming rate, with temperatures more likely to exceed the melting threshold.

In July of this year, Greenland even appeared to melt 6 billion tons of ice per day, and the amount of melting in 3 days was enough to fill 7.2 million Olympic-sized swimming pools. So, Greenland according to such a rate to go on, basically the stability of the glacier will only continue to decline, not possible to rise.

Of course, it is not impossible, that is, as long as humans change the climate, Greenland may return to "as before", but this state to achieve the "best", it is still unlikely.

However, according to the trend of global warming, it is still continuing. So, it is still "the worst case scenario under warming to illustrate", which is not, the sea level thing happened.

New York, USA to disappear as sea levels rise

Of course, many people will find it strange to see this "zombie ice", but in fact this ice is even if people say that they can not get glaciers or snowfall to replenish the ice area. So, this is a part of the Greenland glacier, its melting will make the sea level rise at least 27 cm, and the height of this rise belongs to the global average.

Of course, climate change is an overall pattern, and it can't just be "zombie ice" melting.

According to the research team among, measures such as emission reductions can combat climate change, but 110 trillion tons of ice melting would allow sea levels to rise by at least 27.4 centimeters. At the same time, the researchers also pointed out that it is not sure how long it will take for this ice to melt, but it is estimated that this will happen before the end of the 21st century, no later than 2150.

At the same time, one scientist said that that is 1.1 million tons of ice melt in Greenland, these ice melt water all concentrated in the United States, then, will lead to the United States was submerged in 11 meters of water. It is worth mentioning that this is the first time that a global study has been conducted on the correlation between the minimum amount of Greenland ice melt and sea level rise, but the results of the study are very unpromising.

Of course, it is not possible to focus on the United States, because the water is "globally connected" state.

However, even if it is not concentrated in the United States, say this Greenland ice cap out of the "zombie ice", making the sea level rise at least 27 cm, but there are also studies say rise 78.2 cm.

Anyway, the overall situation, that is, Greenland glacier melting, sea level rise, it will make the United States of New York will disappear, while Bangladesh, Miami and other countries and regions will also disappear.

So, although the sea level does not look too high, in terms of the lowest standard, which is about 27 centimeters of impact could be significant. So, humans really need to be alert to the fact that the crisis of climate change on ice melting has already appeared.
