The mass loss of Greenland ice sheet will break the record of ten thousand years. What is the main reason?

Like the melting ice in the Arctic, the massive loss of Greenland ice sheet is also the result of greenhouse effect and global warming, and their changes also alert human beings. It is urgent to protect the environment and reduce carbon emissions.

1. Foreign scholars predict that the mass loss of Greenland ice sheet will break the record of ten thousand years through simulation test. Greenland in Denmark is considered as the largest island in the world. Glaciers and severe cold are its characteristics, and the temperature here is below 0℃ all the year round. In recent years, due to the influence of temperature change, the melting speed of Greenland ice sheet has obviously accelerated, and 600 billion tons of glaciers disappeared in 20 19 years.

In 2020, some scholars and researchers from the State University of New York at Buffalo, USA, through geological monitoring and high-resolution simulation of Greenland, came to the conclusion that the mass loss of Greenland ice sheet may be 2 1 century, breaking the record of1.20,000 years in the past. This simulation result also means that the melting amount of ice sheet in 2 1 century is probably the total amount of ice sheet growth in the past 4,000 years, and the ice sheet disappears faster and faster. According to relevant data, if we don't stop it and reduce carbon emissions, glaciers will melt until the end of the 20th century, and the global sea level will rise by about seven meters or more.

2. The greenhouse effect causes the loss of ice sheet quality, and continuous warming will bring serious consequences. The rapid mass loss of Greenland ice sheet is related to the greenhouse effect that has attracted much attention in recent years. According to the monitoring, the greenhouse effect causes the temperature in Greenland to rise, which is twice the global average temperature. Rising temperatures have caused more than half of the icebergs in this area to collapse and melt, and with rising ocean temperatures, glaciers move more frequently.

On the other hand, Greenland has a high latitude. If human beings do nothing, continue to act recklessly and gain benefits at the expense of destroying the environment, resulting in increasing carbon emissions. Then what awaits people will be immeasurable economic losses and threats involving life safety.

British scholars who have been studying glacier melting and its effects for a long time said that every time the sea level rises 1 cm, 6 million people in coastal cities will be attacked by floods and other disasters, and immigration will be necessary and helpless for survival. Reducing carbon emissions is the common obligation and responsibility of people all over the world. Protecting the earth on which we live means protecting ourselves.
