Save the Arctic

Just a few days ago, there was a rare high temperature in the Arctic, which once reached 32 °C, allowing the glaciers to melt quickly.

Netizens commented that the most hot search was not on the hot search.

According to NASA data, the Arctic summer sea ice area has decreased by nearly half in the past 40 years. There are only about 3.5 million square kilometers left.

Jennifer, a scholar who studies arctic meteorology, predicts that the ice on the Arctic Ocean may have completely disappeared some summer before 2040, 60 years earlier than the countdown predicted more than 10 years ago!

"The consequences of an ice-free Arctic may be unbearable for humans."

Today's Arctic is sometimes warmer than Beijing. The tundra in the high latitudes turns green in advance, the eggs are premature, and the migratory birds miss the foraging time, and the polar animals face the end of the death.

Plankton is concentrated in the Arctic Ocean, and more and more countries and commercial companies are flooding into the Arctic to compete for natural resources.

An increase in the temperature in the Arctic also causes atmospheric circulation to bring heat from low latitudes, and the temperature in the Arctic continues to rise.

The polar region was originally the "air conditioner" of the entire planet, which can regulate temperature, humidity and weather. But now it is paralyzed.

According to CNN, countries such as Sweden, Iceland, Finland, and Norway, which are deep in the Arctic Circle, have already recorded record temperatures this summer. There have been dozens of forest fires in the Arctic.

High-temperature heat waves are also sweeping through many countries in Asia, Europe, America and Africa.

For the fragile Earth's climate system, a little temperature change is fatal.

When the global average surface temperature rises by 1 to 3 degrees Celsius, the summer Arctic sea ice will disappear, and the ice cover of Greenland's thickness of kilometer will irreversibly melt. If it rises above 5 degrees Celsius, the Arctic sea ice will also disappear in winter.

Perhaps in our lifetime, before it was able to set foot on the pure land of the Arctic, it and its animals have disappeared.
