Arctic Warming Surpasses Levels of Planets on the Solar System: Study

Over the past decades, the Arctic has warmed up to tormenting levels than the world as a whole. It is expected to have enhanced as much as three times. Arctic warming has resulted in rapidness in ice meltdown and far-fetched consequences that are integral and fatal to long-lasting life on Earth.

The Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program on Thursday issued a grim warning claiming that the different perturbation scenarios across the world and especially the ice-surrounded region has depleted the climatic conditions. A new report summarized the latest findings of Arctic change and projections of future transformation if the climatic scenario continues the same way.“The Arctic is a real hotspot for climate warming,” Jason Box, a glaciologist at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland, told a France agency outlet on Thursday.

According to the study, the Arctic mean surface temperature spiked to an insignificant height of 3.1 degrees celsius between 1971 and 2019. The concerning point was that the rest of the world temperature was far less and the global rating was at less elevated risk, that too during the same period.The worldwide decrease in snow cover, land dimensions, and ice solids might have been the protuberances of  warming. The increase in hazardous events like rainfall, landslides, and earthquakes coupled with permafrost flow has upheaved the pressures on environmental safety.

AMAP condemned that inhabitants’ recklessness towards the environment has led to lost livelihoods of many communities not only in the region but across the world. Arctic warming also poses risks to unique terrestrial, coastal, and marine ecosystems in the region, some of which are vulnerable to irreversible harm. The revamping in Arctic warming has global repercussions, and the paradigm shift could potentially be the aftermath of the triggering of the negative feedback loops.
