Prehistoric creatures found in Arctic permafrost? Scientists warn: Arctic glaciers are melting too fast!

According to the survey, the glaciers in Greenland are melting, and they are melting at an unprecedented rate. A large piece of ice floes above suddenly began to break, which also caused the glacier to fall out of its original position.

In fact, in terms of climate and temperature, 80% of Greenland is covered with ice and snow. Even in summer, the temperature is below 0 degrees. However, on islands that are frozen all year round, glaciers are melting. This is worthy of vigilance for humans, because scientists have analyzed that if the glaciers on Greenland are all melted, the global sea level can even rise by about 7.2 meters.

Now there are only about 370 square kilometers of the entire Arctic, which is about 40% smaller than that of 40 years ago. The melting of the Arctic glaciers is more reminiscent of Hawking's prediction, and the reduction of the glacier area is no accident.

Hawking once said that if the earth has been in a state of constant warming, it will eventually lead to the inability of human beings to obtain a comfortable environment. When biological species cannot survive on Earth, Earth may end up becoming like Venus. In the solar system, the temperature of the surface of Venus can even reach as high as 459 ℃.

The melting of glaciers in the Arctic and Arctic Ocean also directly shows that the world is in the process of continuous warming. If the North Pole becomes uncontrollable, there will be unforeseen consequences for the planet. At present, although the sea level rise in the global ocean is not obvious, within a period of time, this situation cannot be ignored.

After the overall temperature of the Arctic rises, it directly affects the survival of polar bears. Originally a home for a comfortable environment, as the ice floes have drifted farther in recent years, polar bears are running out of place. Scientists have predicted that polar bears will also face a dangerous situation in the future if the entire Arctic temperature rises like it has in the past few decades.

As the Arctic ice shelves continue to collapse, the ice in the Arctic Ocean may all melt in 20 years. As polar bears living in the Arctic, they have lost their living space. Even if they can swim in the ocean, they will eventually be affected and cannot adapt to face extinction.

As for temperatures and warming, it's not just affecting animals living in the Arctic. In the Arctic, there is permafrost that freezes all year round, and the existence of permafrost is very critical. Some time ago, scientists discovered animal carcasses that had been frozen for tens of thousands of years in permafrost, only to be exposed as they thawed.

According to inference, these corpses found in the frozen soil are likely to be early creatures living in caves when they were alive, and then being affected by natural conditions. For example, the avalanche, the collapse of ice blocks, etc. led to the loss of life, because the temperature was very low and it was sealed by ice and snow, so their bodies were preserved intact.

But with the melting of polar glaciers, if these creatures cannot be buried, along with the rise in temperature, the viral components or other microorganisms contained in these animals may begin to penetrate into wider areas. It is entirely possible that they will affect the creatures in the ocean along with the ocean. Once the creatures in the ocean are threatened, it will not be far from humans.

At the same time, the permafrost is not only the carcass of animals, it is also a site where many harmful substances are banned. From the survey can be found, in the Arctic region, where the mercury content is very high. If Arctic glaciers turn into water, these abundances of mercury could affect water bodies. After the ocean is polluted, the marine ecosystem is damaged. If humans eat marine organisms, they will also ingest toxic elements in the human body.

The appearance of some animal carcasses in the permafrost is just a starting point. During the research process, scientists carried out microbial investigation and detection through the samples obtained, and also discovered unique original viruses. The greatest ability of this virus is that even if it has been frozen for thousands of years, they have not been inactivated. Instead, the animal is used as a host for nutrition, and after obtaining sufficient energy, the virus chooses a conditional dormancy state.

Therefore, although follow-up studies have found that this type of virus does not directly affect humans, it should also be alert to the threat it poses to other organisms. With the global ecosystem remaining stable, the sudden emergence of a virus has the potential to directly disrupt this phenomenon. Moreover, the ability of the virus to spread and reproduce has not been fully grasped, and it is likely to become the source of the virus outbreak.

Once a French virologist discovered a virus with a diameter greater than 0.5 microns, its cell replication ability is very strong, and it remains viable in a cold environment.

Judging from the changes in the Arctic in recent years, it has confirmed the fact of global warming. The annual maximum temperature is also gradually rising, and it even broke the record earlier, reaching a high temperature of 38 degrees. After the temperature has risen, the ice and snow have been continuously digested. The entire Arctic glacier area is rapidly declining, and human concerns about it are beginning to deepen.

As the ice floes in the Arctic Ocean are carried away by the sea water, they gradually melt after drifting all the way to the south. After the glaciers turned into sea water, it also caused the sea level to rise. Take Japan as an example, parts of Japan may be gradually submerged by sea water. In the face of the vast ocean, its range is very wide, but even so, the amount of seawater produced by the melting of the Arctic glaciers is amazing enough.

Not only Japan, but from the monitoring situation, two islands in Indonesia have been submerged by sea water. At the same time, there are still many islands around the world surrounded by sea water, and if sea levels continue to rise, it will only be a matter of time before submersion.

The reason why human beings can survive on the earth is mainly because the earth provides human beings with a suitable environment. Compared with other planets in the solar system, the temperature closer to the sun is too high. Under the conditions of high temperature of hundreds of degrees Celsius, not only human beings cannot survive, but other biological species are also difficult to adapt.

On planets far from the sun, the temperature difference between day and night is also quite large through the detection of the planet's surface, and there is no sufficient water source. By comparison, we can see that the earth is currently the only place suitable for human habitation and living.

Scientists have also investigated the reasons for the continuous disappearance of Arctic glaciers. Not only because of carbon dioxide emissions, but more importantly because of the huge amount of methane gas released. Especially around the sea water, the United States has tested and found that in the Arctic region, there are as many as millions of places that can generate and release methane.

Greenhouse gas emissions can be said to be an important cause of climate warming. Now more and more regions have begun to use natural gas, solar energy and other clean energy sources to replace those traditional energy sources such as coal and oil. Human beings have been gradually implementing plans to deal with the problem of global warming.
