It is no shocker that the world temperature is increasing every year due to climate change and global warming. Now the new traced of its existence is found in Greenland.

Greenland has recorded a temperature as high as 10.7 degrees Celsius in August, which has resulted in massive ice meltdown. Greenland is probably experiencing one of the harshest summers in the history of its existence, which means the ice there is melting faster than ever.

As per reports, nearly 440 billion tons of ice is expected to melt from Greenland’s ginormous ice sheet by the end of the summers this year, which is not a good news. In simple words, the melted ice water is enough to flood Pennsylvania or a country the size of Greece by a foot (nearly 35 cm).

Josh Willis, a NASA Oceanographer, who studies melting ice in Greenland, said that what’s happening now is an amalgam of man-made climate change and also created by nature. However, the weather patterns are quite weird, the scientist said.

Tom Mote, ice scientist at the University of Georgia told the Associated Press, “If you look at climate model projections, we can expect to see larger areas of the ice sheet experiencing meltdown for longer duration of the year and greater mass loss going forward. There’s every reason to believe that years that look like this will become more common.”
