Climate Change: Greenland's melting ice raises global sea level by 2.2mm

A new study has found that summer of 2019 has triggered loss of 600 billion tons of ice from Greenland which is eugh to raise global sea levels by 2.2mm within just two months.

According to reports, on analysing  satellite data it was revealed re has been a great loss to ice caps in just a few months of abrmally high temperatures around rrn pole. Last year was reportedly hottest on record for Arctic.

268 tons of ice lost

In study, scientists have calculated that ermous ice sheets in Greenland have lost an aver of 268 billion tons of ice between 2002 and 2019. Global heating caused by human-induced climate crisis are resulting glaciers to melt away around world.

As per reports, scientists revealed ice in Greenland is melting seven times faster as compared to 1990, pushing up previous estimates of global sea-level rise and putting 400 million people at risk of flooding every year by end of century.

Recent research has also found that Antarctica, largest ice sheet on Earth, is also losing its mass at a rapid rate. As per reports, Greenland has been losing an ermous amount of ice at a rate that's six times faster than 1990s.

Nearly 400 million people at risk

According to Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) which has been tracking climate change, by year 2100 around 400 million more people would be exposed to coastal flooding due to melting of ice sheets. A team of 50 international organisations with 96 polar scientists have conducted most shocking survey of ice loss in Greenland.

Ice Sheet Mass Balance Inter-comparison Exercise (IMBIE) Team carried 26 in-depth surveys to calculate losses in mass of Greenland's ice sheets. se surveys were conducted between 1992 and 2018. IMBIE Team used data of 11 satellites and y also used data of measurements of ice sheet's changing volume, flow, and gravity.
