A deadly threat to millions of people from the disappearance of ice in the Arctic. Find out the deta
A group of scientists, in parallel with the twenty-seventh United Nations Conference on Climate Change, revealed the danger of the disappearance of ice in the Arctic in the summer, according to what was reported by RT. The Guardian newspaper indicates that within ten years the region may lose sea ice completely, according to a scientists’ report, which will lead to dire consequences for tens of millions of people. “We can't do anything about it,” says researcher Julie Brigham of the University of Massachusetts. “We made a mistake and let the (climate) system actually overheat.” According to experts' expectations, the shrinkage of the ice area will expose the dark Arctic Ocean, which will absorb heat instead of reflecting it, which will lead to a rise in global warming. This could also lead to the largest melting of ice in 130,000 years, which will affect coastal areas. It should be noted that the European Union reached an agreement on the problem of global warming and adopted a law on reducing harmful emissions into the atmosphere by the end of the decade. This agreement sets the goals of European Union countries to reduce emissions from transportation, building heating, agriculture, waste, etc., and under the new law, emissions from these areas must be reduced by 40% compared to 2005.
