The total area of Arctic sea ice fell to a record low.
Since 1979, scientists watching the process of melting of Arctic sea ice with satellites. This is the second time I was registered a record low in total ice area in the Arctic.
Indicates that this is one of the basic signs of an increase in the average temperature on Earth. NSIDC reported on the registration area of the ice to 4.14 million square kilometers, while in 2007 the corresponding figure was 0.01 million more. The scientists noted that the average rate of ice by 2.56 million square kilometres less than the 1979-2000 level years, which is a terrible loss for the environment. Scientists believe that the effects of this process will affect not only the Arctic but the whole world.
A sharp decrease in Arctic sea ice influences the climate conditions in middle latitudes. Experts do not exclude that the emergence of devastating weather anomalies in the past few years are the result of melting ice.
