The average temperature of the snow-covered Antarctica has risen by 4 degrees in the last 20 years
Washington, July 6, 2021, Tuesday
Many reports had predicted that temperatures in Antarctica, which is covered in ice, would rise, but according to a recent report released by the United Nations World Meteorological Organization, temperatures in one area of Antarctica rose to 12.5 degrees Celsius on February 6, 2020. In the first year of 2017, the temperature was recorded at 12.5 degrees Celsius. According to WMO Secretary General Pattari Tals, confirmation of temperature records was essential for a comprehensive understanding of weather and climate change.
The temperature was recorded near the Esperanza research station in Argentina. Antarctica is warming rapidly on Earth. The average temperature has risen by 3 degrees in the last 20 years. That is why scientists and experts involved in sustainable research are constantly monitoring. However, the United Nations meteorological agency has rejected Brazil's claim of a temperature of 40.5 degrees Celsius in the Seymour area. The World Meteorological Organization closely monitored the weather conditions throughout Antarctica. It was concluded that the heat was increasing due to the high pressure area of the air.
Earlier, the National Snow and Ice Center warned that solid water in the form of ice in Antarctica had accumulated so much that if it melted, the sea level on Earth could rise by an average of 300 feet. According to information published in the journal Nature, sea levels have risen by 3 inches since 190. Of this, 7% is water from the melting of the ice of Greenland and Antarctica. In the last 15 years, temperatures have risen by 3 degrees, while the average temperature of the Earth has risen by 1.5 degrees, while Antarctica's temperature has doubled.
