Arctic Ocean ice melts to its second lowest level on record this summer

Due to global warming, this summer, ice in Arctic Ocean melted to its second lowest level on record. United States scientists reported that last week, Arctic ocean reached its summertime low of 1.4 million square miles. According to National Sw and Ice Data Center, this year’s ice melt comes after 2012, when ice shrank to 1.3 million square miles.

Warming shrinks Arctic Ocean ice

According to reports by AP, data center director Mark Serreze blamed Siberian heat wave and a natural Arctic climate phemen for decline. He also called out that global warming from burning of coal, oil and natural gas has also contributed to melting of ice. He said, “Absolutely we’re seeing climate change at work because warm summers become warmer and cold winters aren’t as cold as y were”.

As per reports by AP, Pennsylvania State University climate scientist Michael Mann, wrote in an email, “What happens in Arctic, as we say, doesn’t stay in Arctic. We see impact of Arctic warming in form of unprecedented heat waves, floods, droughts, wildfire that we are w contending with here in U.S. and around rest of world”. According to various studies, melting of sea ice changes by altering jet stream and various or waves that furr move wear system. According to Jennifer Francis of Woodwell Climate Research Center in Woods Hole, melting of sea ice is connected to an increase in winter storminess in Eastern United States.

In ar shocking revelation, a group of British scientists have found that ‘staggering’ 28 trillion tonnes of ice has melted from planet since 1994. In a review paper published in journal Cryosphere Discussions, scientists from Leeds and Edinburgh universities and University College London studied satellite surveys of glaciers, mountains, and ice sheets between years 1994 and 2017 to document impact of global warming. In whopping loss of 28 trillion, as per research, 7.6 trillion tonnes from Arctic Sea, 6.5 trillion tonnes from Antarctic ice shelves, 6.2 trillion tonnes of mountain glaciers, 3.8 trillion tonnes of Greenland ice sheet, 2.5 trillion tonnes of Antarctic ice sheet and 0.9 trillion tonnes of mountain glaciers have reduced in ir masses.
