The ice is melting faster than expected at both poles!

The ice at the north and south pole is melting faster than previously anticipated, which therefore increase sea levels and an acceleration of global warming warned while presenting the results of their research on Wednesday in Geneva.

The study for made in the field in 2007 and 2008 by thousands of scientists, revealed that the warming in Antarctic is “a lot more spread than foreseen”, while the Arctic ices diminish and that the bottom of the dome of ice of the Greenland quickens.

The frozen, and often inaccessible polar regions, have been considered for a long time as the one of the most reliable barometers for the climatic changes as they influence the general conditions of the oceans and atmosphere.

Oceanic waters temperatures around the Antarctic increased more quickly than the world-wide average, according to the first conclusions of the study presented by the world-wide meteorological Organization and the international Counsel for science.

Measures show in addition the acceleration of the melting of the cover of ice of the continent Antarctic and of the Greenland.

In addition the warming of the permafrost, so far constantly frozen, can contribute to accelerate the process of climatic change by liberating greenhouse gas so far trapped in the grounds.

“The message is strong and clear: which arrives in the polar regions has consequences for the remainder of the world and we concern all”, underlined the scientists.
