How many billion tons of Greenland ice has disappeared in the last 30 years, a surprising revelation

Both the incidence and the rate of melting of ice on the planet have increased.

Now the news is that the Greenland ice sheet is melting so fast that 4 trillion of its ice has melted in the last 30 years.

According to experts, the largest ice loss occurred between 1992 and 2018, when 3.8 trillion cubic feet of ice melted and became part of the ocean.

This study is in line with the 2014 report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change under the United Nations, which stated that global ice reserves will melt rapidly.

And by 2100, the water that melts into the oceans will raise the average sea level by 52 to 98 cm.

The research was carried out by scientists from the University of Leeds under the supervision of Professor Andrew Shepherd.

He has expressed serious concern over the loss of Greenland ice.

In this regard, after 2000, the destruction of Greenland began and more water started to melt than the ice that formed because the average temperature of the global oceans also increased in the same year.

In the decade of 2000, due to the melting of the Greenland ice sheet, the global sea level rose by a little more than one centimeter, but now it is seeing an increase in its speed.

Although the impact has not been dramatic, the frequency and strength of strong hurricanes has definitely increased.

An example of this includes the famous storm Sandy in North America in 2012.

So it can be said that minor changes can have a huge and devastating effect.

80 years from now in 2100, 630 million people of the world will live on the seashore and will face hurricanes again and again.

The melting ice of Greenland itself will play an important role in this situation.
