How terrible is this year's extreme weather? Six billion tons of ice melted in Arctic Greenland, and that's not the worst of it

In recent years, glacier melting, extreme heat, and forest fires caused by global warming have affected every aspect of people's lives. on July 28, 2022, news and videos about the large-scale ice melting phenomenon in Greenland sparked many citizens' attention and hot discussions on the Internet. Many citizens commented on how terrible the extreme weather is. The coldest place in the northern hemisphere has fallen, how bad is the real situation in Greenland?

The coldest place in the northern hemisphere has fallen, how bad is the real situation in Greenland?

Greenland, currently the world's largest island, is located at the border of North America and Europe and belongs to the Kingdom of Denmark. Since records began, the entire island has been in a state of severe cold all year round, a typical polar climate. It is reported that less than 100,000 people live here, and because the daily temperature is below 0 ℃, people here live in thick cotton coats all year round. In recent years, due to increased global warming, the entire Arctic glaciers began to enter the melting stage.

On July 28, 2022, a video of the massive melting of Greenland was broadcast on the Internet, triggering the attention and hot discussion of many citizens. From the video, you can see a towering iceberg melting rapidly, the scene is shocking. Some researchers said that from July 15 to 17 three days, about 6 billion tons of ice melted every day, this amount is enough to fill 7.2 million swimming pools or flood a small local state.

The temperature in Greenland is said to exceed 15.5 degrees Celsius every day, and now Greenland is already wearing short sleeves and shorts outside. This was something unimaginable in the past, but now it is happening in front of us. Some experts analyze that if this high-temperature pattern continues, Greenland's ice will slowly melt, and once it all melts, the earth's sea level will rise by 7.5 meters. This unusual climate, in addition to changing the residents' dressing, also affects their daily travel. Because of the extensive melting of the local ice cap, it is difficult for planes to land properly in the area, causing many tourists to be stranded in the area. In addition, the widespread melting of the glaciers has also affected the scientific research work of many countries in the region, and the situation is very bad. So, what is the main reason for the massive melting in Greenland?

What is the main reason for the massive melting in Greenland?

Greenland, located in the Arctic Circle, is the second coldest region in the world after Antarctica in the world. But surprisingly, this time the island's temperature is increasing, and the glaciers also began to melt on a large scale. 28 July 2022, the news about Greenland's glacier melting is overwhelming, triggering the spread of public opinion on the Internet. So, what is the main reason for Greenland's massive melting?

When it comes to the large-scale melting of Greenland, the main reason is global warming. As we all know, due to global warming, countries around the world this year have eaten a lot of extreme heat suffering ha. For example, in France, the United Kingdom repeatedly issued a red alert for extreme heat, Spain's rampant mountain fires, and in India, hundreds of people died because of the heat. Even our country is no exception, Zhengzhou, Henan, Hangzhou, and Zhejiang Province, the temperature has reached 40 degrees Celsius, and the heat is very outrageous.

The second reason for the massive melting of Greenland is the influence of the polar jet stream, which moves from west to east, bringing the warm and humid air currents of the Atlantic Ocean to coastal areas such as Greenland, resulting in a widespread increase in temperature here. The main reason for the melting of Greenland's glaciers is the planet's excessive carbon dioxide emissions and the widespread use of fossil fuels, which has caused a series of problems.

What can be done about global warming?

This year, global warming, glaciers around the melting, and even Greenland is no exception. It is reported that Greenland melts as much as 6 billion tons of ice every day, triggering the high attention of countries around the world. The World Meteorological Organization has warned that if global warming continues, more and more glaciers will melt and seawater will likely flood the land of coastal countries. So, what are the ways we can deal with this problem of global warming?

Global warming is a century-old problem that has not been properly solved, and we can only improve the Earth's climate through several methods and measures. The first thing is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions between countries and develop and use clean energy. The second is to plant trees, use the land wisely, return the land to forest and grass, and live in harmony with nature. The third is to strengthen the rational distribution and use of water resources and conserve water.

The region has also taken measures in response to the recent melting of Greenland's ice sheet. That is to send scientific institutions to the area to carefully observe the melting process of the glaciers, through these remote sensing observation data to determine the specific situation of the melting of the area. It is believed that with time, the melting rate of Greenland's glaciers will be reduced. So, what other ways do you have to deal with global warming?
