Las Sweden and Norway Glacier They are increasingly melted at speedy speed, which is driven by the current The heating of the planet Due to climate change. By 2024, the EU Copenicus was officially registered as the hottest year in the history of Europe, and the glaciers of these Nortic countries enjoyed an average of 1.8 meters. A dangerous rhythm It exceeds the historical socks.
This dramatic Loss of iceberg He is seriously concerned with scientists and environmentalists. Experts of Craziology warn that if this trend continues, these glaciers will disappear completely in the upcoming decades.
“We have to take care of these little people Polar debris. Humans are incredibly important to us: energy, agriculture, water supply, for everything! This water depends on all the environment of the mountains and the alps, ”explains the Swedish glacier expert Eric Hus.
“When we arrived to Corsaqlazier in August, I saw that the whole had collapsed. I felt the nausea My eyes were full of tears. How can the iceberg disappear so fast? “Hus laments.
Near 70% of the planet’s new water It comes from the icebergs and the snow
This year, strong snowfalls have helped to restore the icebergs, but Professor Nina Krchner says that it has only created one The feeling of misconception. “The most important thing is not to take this snow as a sign that there is no danger of winter. I know that it is not a bar for a long time, Long -time Glaciers will be reduced in Sweden“Says Kirchner.
The shore of the glaciers is a natural part of Climate cycleThe unprecedented speed is very fast to change environmental systems.
According to the World Weather System, 70% of the planet’s new water It comes from icebergs and ice, and supports agriculture, industry, energy production and drinking water supply. Is on all the continents 275,000 world glaciers They occupy about 700,000 square kilometers and have about 170,000 cubic kilometers of snow.
Failure threatens biodiversity
Beyond its role in the water cycle, Time Capsules of icebergs History of our planet. His snow has valuable records of past climate, environmental changes and human activity.
As The icebergs go backWe lose not only we lose these irreparable historical archives, but also the weak environmental systems that support it. This loss Threatens biodiversity The world and the transformation of thousands of environmental balances to change.
If we continue to warm the planet in this rhythm, five of the five Sweden glaciers are significantly reduced or the IPCC warned They would have been fully melted for 2100.
