Scientists with NASA experts held the scientific conference, which discussed the issue of melting glaciers
According to researchers, over the past few years, the melting of glaciers in the oceans has increased tenfold. If the situation with glaciers in the near future will not change, then soon the planet expects the flooding.
A NASA spokesman from the University of Colorado made a statement that one third of the rise in the water level in the oceans linked to climate change, the rest is due to glacial changes. It provided statistics that demonstrate the increase in the water level of the oceans, which will lead to flooding of entire continents. In the area of greatest risk are the countries that tight to the water. In the scientific edition of National Geographic published an article that described the pace of global warming.
After 150 years the Earth average temperature will rise by 5-10 degrees and will reach 26 degrees. Russia will be in the African summer and the warm tropical winter. At that time, as extremes in summer temperature will be around 3-5 degrees. As a result, glaciers will turn into sea water.
At the moment, in summer at the poles the temperature is around zero degrees. Per year global sea level rises by 3-3. 5 mm, which inevitably brings humanity to a world flood.
