Melting Mummies Are on Thin Ice, Thanks to Climate ChangeSabrina Imbler
This is the first time scientists calculated a minimum ice loss - and accompanying sea level rise - for Greenland, one of Earth’s two massive ice sheets that are slowly shrinking because of climate change from burning coal, oil and natural gas. As for the timing of the committed melting,...
While sea ice naturally decreases in the summer and refreezes during the winter, summer ice coverage has steadily been declining over the past few decades because of climate change. And Arctic ice melting happens faster itself — as ice disappears, it exposes more of the dark blue ocean, ...
Climate scienceThe article reports that James Screen and colleagues at the University of Melbourne in Australia have disentangled and quantified local and remote contributions of melting ice to the rapid surface warming in the Arctic.doi:10.1038/486297eY. Sasai...
Zombie or doomed ice is ice that is still attached to thicker areas of ice, but is no longer getting fed by those larger glaciers. That’s because the parent glaciers are getting less replenishing snow. Meanwhile the doomed ice is melting from climate change, said study co-author William ...
根据第二段中画线词前一句“Meanwhile the doomed ice is melting from climate change, said study author William Colgan, a glaciologist at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland.(研究论文的合著者、丹麦和格陵兰地质调查局的冰川学家William Colgan称,由于气候变化,这些‘僵尸冰’正在融化)”可知,...
二、阅读理解A The se a ice loss and the Arctic ice melting(融化) caused by climate change have increased much in the last ten years. So they have pushed down the number of polar bears and seals while polar bears depend on se a ice for hunting seals.According to the dat a from the ...
根据“The sea ice loss and the Arctic ice melting (融化) caused by climate change have increased much in the last ten years. So they have pushed down the number of polar bears and seals while polar bears depend on sea ice for hunting seals.”可知,气候变化造成海上浮冰和北极冰川融化,而...
The massive iceberg that broke off the Larsen C Ice Shelf may be a harbinger of a continent-wide collapse that would swamp coastal cities around the world.
“Melting ice is cutting polar bears off from their food source in Hudson Bay, and death rates have soared.” “Death rates have soared”? Where are all the bodies?Show us the starving bears! In fact, the ice of Hudson Bay melts every summer and always has done. When it does, polar...
