A new research makes clear, because the whole world is calefacient, glacier melts, the earth is annual the loss amounts to 390 billion tons ice and snow. This research is published 8 days in " natural " on the magazine, it is the most comprehensive measurement that undertakes to earthly glacier up to now.
The basis considers to report, glacier melts the glacier that the loss is the biggest is Alaska, it is the firn of South America south and arctic glacier next. "30 come for years, the glacier of almost all area decreases suddenly at the same time. From the point of global angle, apparently climate change causes this. Apparently climate change causes this..
The assist general of university of world of the person that study the main compose of the report, Su Li says, to 21 centuries end, the glacier of a few mountain chains that include the United States inside may disappear almost.
According to this research, prep only by melts at glacier, in 50 years of in the past, world sea level rose about 2.5 centimeters. Study the report says, since 1961, the whole world already loss 10.6 trillion tons of ice and snow, enough of water of be in harmony floods 48 cities of American, flood deepness to make an appointment with 1.2 meters.
"The glacier influence to sea level wants than what we imagine big. "The glacier influence to sea level wants than what we imagine big..
The climate that creates artificially changes, say the whole world is calefacient again, be by combustion fossil fuel (be like natural gas, coal and oil) cause, these fuel can release carbon dioxide to the middle of atmosphere (CO2) and gas of methane isotherm room. These additional carbon dioxide bring about atmosphere and deep-sea temperature to rise. (Wen Junhua of entire media reporter)
