When climate change continues to bring disaster throughout the world with extreme drought in China for heavy floods in some parts of India and Pakistan, another main concern is brewing in the isolated angle of this planet. Greenland is on the path to raise global sea level at least 27 centimeters or 10.6 inches.
The latest estimates are almost double the previous predictions and are associated with something called ES Zombie. This dead ice, while still attached to a thicker ice area, is no longer refilled by a parent glacier who now receives less snow and, without refilling, melts from uncontrolled climate change.
Researchers from Danish and Greenland Geological Survey have noted that even if the whole world stops burning fossil fuels today, the Greenland ice layer will still lose about 110 ice quadrilions that lead to the average global sea level increase at least 27 centimeters. “This is a minimum of very conservative stones. In realistically, we will see this number more than double this century. In the scenario that can be estimated that global warming will only continue, the contribution of the Greenland ice layer for sea level increases will only be Continuing to increase, “Professor Jason Box, who led the study, said in a statement.
The study published in the journal Nature Climate Change states that sea level can rise by 30 centimeters. Scientists see the climate at the north pole from 2000 to 2019 and the imbalance he created in the Greenland ice layer and calculate the shape of the ice moved to correct this imbalance. “When we took the year of extreme 2012 and regarded it as a constant climate of the average hypothetical mattics, the mass loss of the commitment from the Greenland ice layer was more than doubled to 78 cm,” added Professor Jason Box.
In a perfect balance, snow drops in the mountains in Greenland flowing down and refilling and thickening the glacier, balance what melts on the edge. But in the last few decades, there has been a slight charging and more melting, creating imbalances. The author of the study saw the ratio of what was added to what was lost and calculated that 3.3% of the total volume of Greenland ES will melt no matter what happens with carbon pollution that cuts the world.
Using strict glasiological theory that comply with the physics of ice flow based on measurements of satellites and other observations, they calculate the average snow line needed to carry the ice layer back to balance. This is the first time scientists count the minimum loss of ice – and accompanying sea level rising – for Greenland, one of the two large layers of the earth’s ice that slowly shrinks due to climate change from coal burning, oil, and natural gas.
