Is the Earth going to enter the 'Little Glacier'? Antarctic ice caps are melting, sea levels may soar by about 4 meters

The impact of global warming on the earth is already obvious. However, today's human emissions of greenhouse gases on the earth have not ended and are continuing to intensify. It can also be seen from the global average concentration of greenhouse gases in 2020 that it is continuing to increase, so many people say that our earth's climate will become more and more extreme. In fact, this has become a fact, which once again shows that human beings Today's Earth's ecosystem doesn't care about its "operation", and it doesn't matter whether it is good or bad.

Therefore, the "Paris Agreement" signed by many countries around the world is really just a piece of paper. Although there are indeed some countries that are protecting the ecological environment, more damage is done, and the intensity is far greater than the intensity of protection. Scientists have discovered something new in the Antarctic region, according to a new study in the journal Nature, after the first discovery of Antarctic methane leaks.

Melting East Antarctic ice sheet could send sea levels soaring by about 4 meters

Scientists have found evidence of the retreat of ancient Antarctic glaciers, which could have contributed to a dramatic rise in sea levels. Scientists believe that the Wilkes Basin has retreated 400,000 years ago and is becoming increasingly unstable, according to Scientific Reports, where the majority of Antarctic ice melt is concentrated in the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. If it all melts, it will raise the sea level by 3 to 4 meters, which is a maximum of nearly 4 meters, which will have serious consequences for low-lying, small islands and other areas with lower sea levels.

Scientist Terrence Blackburn said that through our evidence, in the last warm period of the earth, before the appearance of the last small glaciers, the inland line of the Wilkes Basin retreated 700 kilometers inland, when the global The temperature is 1 to 2 degrees Celsius warmer than it is now. And now the temperature of our earth is rising steadily. Most reports have shown that the average temperature of the earth has been more than 1 degree higher than before industrialization, so this "critical line" is emerging.

The result of the analysis is that the East Antarctic ice sheet may increase the sea level by up to 4 meters, and if Greenland and West Antarctica melt together, the sea level may increase by up to 10 meters. The historical evidence of this melting shows that in the future A similar event could happen, which is not good news for people living in coastal areas, as even a small rise in sea levels could cause major problems.

Doesn't it mean that the earth is going to enter the Little Glacier?

Indeed, every time this topic of global warming appears, many people say that our earth is going to enter a small ice age, and in 2019, some scientists or experts said that our solar activity will continue to decline, and eventually the earth may Will enter the Little Ice Age, but finally?

In 2020, the sun has seen the activity of sunspots again. According to the new situation, the activity of the sun is at the end or the beginning of the cycle, so it is impossible for a small glacier to appear.

Therefore, in 2019, there was no basis for saying that the earth would enter the small glacier, and some scientists analyzed it at that time, and there was no evidence that the appearance of the small glacier was related to the activity of sunspots. In addition to this, some scientists say that the sun will likely "dormant" in 2030, and the earth will enter a small ice age that lasts for an incredible 70 years.

Now there is no way to verify this, but scientists do not have an ironclad proof to prove that it will definitely enter. Just as we look at the cycle of solar activity, 2030 is another transition period for solar activity.

So some scientists re-use this change to explain, but most of them are wrong. As for whether 2030 will enter the Little Ice Age, we can clearly see it.

It is now certain that the earth is warming

We also said above that global warming is continuing to develop, and the topic of the earth entering the small glacier is also inserted in the middle for comparison. Now there is no sign that the earth has the characteristics of entering the small glacier, so you can refer to what these scientists said. That's it.

Since 2020, there have been many abnormally high temperatures in the world, and they have basically broken through the new historical value for the same period in a row, and it has always been the hottest January in history. And it also shows that the WMO may have been right when it first said that 2020 could be the hottest year on record.

At the same time this year, we have seen that the Arctic region has repeatedly refreshed the high temperature. 38 degrees can appear in the Arctic. It is conceivable to imagine how abnormal the climate is. 38 degrees in the Arctic also reflects the global temperature rise, so the Antarctic region is also suffering from global changes. effects of warmth.

It is also true that the melting of Antarctica's glaciers is accelerating, so the situation predicted by scientists is emerging step by step. It does not mean that scientists are prepared, but everyone can see that there are indeed many extreme climates. The root cause of this situation is "global warming".

Taken together, there is no sign that the earth may enter the Little Ice Age, and global warming is an obvious fact, so climate change accelerates the melting of glaciers in the Arctic and Antarctic regions, which will lead to the possibility of continued rise in sea levels across our planet, At that time, more areas will be submerged, and we have now seen cases of submersion by sea level. For example, the islands of the United States, Japan, Indonesia and other countries have announced reports of sinking into the ocean.
