Medicine & TechnologyAs the heat wave that struck the southeastern United States made its way up to Greenland, the ice-covered island recorded over 2 billion tons of ice melt in just one day.
Currently, more advanced satellites, sophisticated climate models, and weather stations have aided in collecting a more precise data on the measurement of the melting glaciers.
Global warming is the most seen reason by scientists that causes the gradual vanishing of the ice sheets in North America. In the next 300 years, the Barnes Ice Cap Island in Canada is expected to melt as shown in its current situation.
The World Meteorological Organization(WMO) has confirmed that the year 2015 was the hottest year for Antarctica. Climate scientists have recorded the temperature was 63.5° Fahrenheit on March 24th, 2015.
Researchers fear for the impending doom as researchers found that a one-meter rise in sea level is inevitable to happen over the next 100 to 200 years.
