The Greenland ice sheet, one of the coldest and most remote regions of the world that serves a pivotal role in the Earth's climate, is now clearly feeling significant effects of climate change. Researchers found that central and northern areas of the sheet have recently seen the hottest temperatures in a millennium.
It has been long clear that many parts of Greenland are warming, but the latest research, published in on Wednesday, took a deeper look at the central part of Greenland's ice sheet, where the impact of climate change has long been unclear. To learn more about that impact, researchers from the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research drilled ice cores to create a"high-quality reconstruction" of temperatures in central and north Greenland from 1,000 AD to 2011.
According to the study, researchers can say with"virtual certainty" that temperatures in that area are roughly 1.5 degrees Celsius warmer than it was in the 1900s. Data shows that Greenland experienced a cooling trend until about 1800 and has seen a steep warming trend ever since. The industrial revolution, which amplified global mass use of fossil fuels, began at roughly the same time. This is the first time that ice cores from that region have provided evidence of global warming.
, the last time ice cores were researched from that region was in the 1990s, and at that time, they"did not indicate clear warming in central-north Greenland" — even as global temperatures were shown to be rising.
So sad
So 1000 years ago it had higher temperatures? Well, not too much industrialization 1000 years ago. 🤔🤔😲
It's feeling the effects? It has feelings? Nice try on trying to make a sheet of ice, human 😂🤣 How big was it 2 million years ago? Oh so this has been happening for millions of years? 👌👍
The Sun controls Earth's temperature. You can not control the Sun 🌞 get over yourselves tiny human.
Well, it isn’t called Greenland because it’s covered in ice.
This could be the reason that polar bear killed that mother and child in Alaska. So sad
“The world goes through cycles” so the deniers say But it’s indisputable that both carbon emissions and average temperatures are highly correlated If the climate deniers can get past this data driven fact, then I am entirely willing to listen
Good to see all the Twitter climate scientists out to assure us we have nothing to worry about
HOW MANY TIMES HAS THAT HAPPENED IN THE HISTORY OF TERRA FIRMA? GET OVER IT!
This is totally lost on Republicans.
Obviously one of the things they discussed at the world economic forum was pushing more climate propaganda.
Not good news for places like, Miami! ClimateEmergency ClimateCrisis Miami
Posted repeatedly last week. Surely there is other news...?
'climate change'
The climate has been warming and cooling since earth’s existence
Come on the last time they said it was melting, it was the coldest in years, now this come on. We know what the truth is and it not climate change. Just saying
Blah, blah, blah. Propaganda
The earth goes through cycles with or without human intervention. Research ice ages and warm cycles.
Know don't think this or some rational near abouts it FBI treated HillaryClinton w/ kids gloves & MUCH GRACE for SHE HASN'T sold out MY REPUBLIC such as POTUS & family Y'ALL ACTUALLY THOUGHT they was GONNA ALLOW LaptopFromHell just go by way side - HUNTER RECORDED ALL THINGS
skaiibear ☹️☹️
Remember that time that Chicago was buried under a mile-thick ice sheet that melted before man created the internal combustion engine?
Es cierto en la Antártida está pasando lo mismo.podria explicarlo cuál es su grave consecuencia .Se debe resolver asuntos Planetarios .
Anything for the klan to pretend like everything is fine in cities.
So 1,000 years ago it was the same temperature as it is today? That’s a relief
Oh give it up CBS, you have been using fear for this Climate Change for years. Poor Countries don't care, they care about food.
All the cars and coal burning plants must have caused it 1,000 years ago too...
