Arctic Ocean will be sans glaciers by 2030 !

It will have a serious impact on the global climate and living beings

London (Britain) – The glaciers in the Arctic Ocean are melting faster than expected. As per the new study report published in the journal ‘Nature Communications’, all ice in the Arctic Ocean will melt by the summer of 2030, i.e., it will totally disappear. The study, based on the statistics of 40 years from 1979 to 2019, images obtained through satellites, and analysis of climate, says that the ice in the Arctic Ocean was melting faster than expected time. The ice of the Arctic is considered the Earth’s immunity system, and insulation; therefore, once the ice is melted, the whole of nature’s system will break down.

Arctic habitat in danger

One study group associated with the United Nations environment department said in 2021 that the temperature in the Arctic was rising four times faster than in the other parts of the world. In the last 40 years, 70 lakh square km of multi-layered glaciers have come down to 40 lakh square km after the summer. This terrain is as big as the area of India.

Professor Dr Dirk Notz of ‘The Institute of Oceanography’ at Hamburg University said that the snowfall was going down by 12.6% every decade. If the layer of Arctic glaciers was reduced, which strengthens Earth’s insulation, it would have a serious impact on the whole world at three levels i.e., atmosphere, human, and allied systems.

Rise in sea-water level : The water level is rising globally, by 4.5 mm every year. With melting Arctic glaciers, it will rise faster. It will also affect ocean currents and monsoons. There will be an increase in heat waves, forest fires, and floods.

Why will Earth’s temperature increase due to the loss of Arctic glaciers ?

The sun rays falling on Arctic glaciers mostly reflect back to space but without the ice, this process will not occur and there will be a rise in Earth’s temperature.

Most severe heat in Southeast Asia in 200 years !

Many parts of Southeast Asia have been experiencing the severest heat in the last 200 years. The average temperature in the month of May in Hanoi, the Capital of Vietnam is 32 degrees Celsius, but presently, it has gone above 40 degrees. The highest temperature recorded there has been 46.4 degrees. At Phnom Penh, the Capital of Cambodia, the temperature is 42.1 degrees. The temperature recorded in Bangkok, the Capital of Thailand, was 43.7 degrees Celsius while in Kuala Lumpur, the Capital of Malaysia, the temperature has been 40 degrees Celsius.
