Paris, France:
The loss of snow from the glaciers of the world has intensified in the last decade, warning on Wednesday, warning that the melting years can be faster than before and drives the sea level more. The glaciers of the world, who are important climate regulators and catch freshwater resources for billions, are melting due to the world warmth.
For the first time in the global evaluation, an international team of researchers saw a sharp increase in melting in the last decade, losing about 36 percent more snow in the period 2012 to 2023 than 2000 to 2011.
He said that on an average 273 billion tonnes of snow is losing per year – he said equivalent to the consumption of the world’s population for 30 years.
The findings are “shocking” if it is not completely surprising because global temperature rises with humanity’s greenhouse gas emissions, then a professor Michael Zamp, a professor at the University of Zurich, said, who was co-writer of evaluation published in journal Nature.
Overall, researchers found that the glaciers of the world have lost about five percent of their quantity since the turn of the century, with a wider regional interior in Antarctica ranging from two percent losses to 40 percent of European Alps.
Zemp stated that areas with small glaciers are losing them rapidly, and many “will not escape the current century”.
Research – World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS), coordinated by Edinburgh University and Research Group Earthwave – was an attempt to bring the field and satellite measurement together to create “reference estimates” to track the loss of ice.
The Zamp, who led the WGMS, stated that the team’s observation and recent modeling studies suggest that the glacier melts the century to faster than the most recent evaluation by the United Nations IPCC climate experts.
AFP said, “Therefore, we are facing high sea-level growth by the end of this century than before,” he said that the loss of glacier will also affect freshwater supply, especially Central Asia and In the Central Andes.
Glacier is the second largest contributor for global C-level growth-it is heated after growth due to expansion of water.
An increase of about two centimeters (0.8 inches) for the glacier melting since 2000 means that about four million more people on the world’s banks are unsafe for floods, scientists estimated.
‘Survival Strategy’
So far, small glaciers are the main contributors to an increase in sea level, but a professor Martin Segart, a professor at the University of Exeter, who was not involved in the study, said that the research was “related”.
This is because it further predicts the loss of the glacier and may indicate how the huge ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland react to global warming.
“Snow sheets are now losing mass at rising rates – 30 years ago six times more – and when they change, we stop talking to the centimeter and start talking to the meter,” he said.
The glaciers have been a major bellweather for human-generated climate change for decades, with WGMS data going back for more than a century.
In the 20th century, the assessments were based on the measurement of the region from some 500 glaciers – a hole dig at the top to record the amount of fresh ice that year was included to scientists and then the ice lost on the “tongue” To assess the quantity.
Recently, satellites have allowed scientists to have better track changes in 275,000 glaciers of the world – using cameras, radars, lasers and methods to assess the mass of the Earth.
In January, the United Nations stated that saving the glaciers of the world was an important “survival strategy” for the planet.
To do this, “You have to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it is as simple and as complex as,” ZEP said.
“Every tenth degree warming that we avoid us from saving money, save us life, protect us from problems.”
