According to a recent study, the world's glaciers are swallowing the record of climate change. According to a BBC report on Wednesday, Europe's largest Alech glacier melted from 5 to 1.2 km. Of these, it melted 5 km after 20 years.
Glaciens are the source of water for millions of people around the world and the sea level may increase by 12 cm if the sea is completely melted. They have lost 5,8 billion tonnes of ice since 20 years. The melting ice is 5 percent of the total ice.
Researchers say that the melting rate of glaciers has increased by one-third over the past decade.
According to a new study, glaciers around the world, excluding Greenland and Antarctica between 20 and 2021, have lost an average of 20 billion tonnes of ice annually. Michael Jamp, the main author of the research, said the amount of ice is equal to the demand for 5 years of population in the world.
The research combines various research data that the glacier is swollen quickly and is making it clear how the future will change.
The glacier may take a few years to decades to melt. However, the amount of ice reduction will depend on our carbon emission control. If you can keep global warming, it will be possible to preserve glaciers.
Not only the local nature changes due to the melting of the glaciers, the risk of the coastal region is increasing due to the increase in global sea level. The sea level per centimeter can be at risk of annual floods of 2 million people.
