Rainfall was recorded for the first time on a wide strip of land 2 miles above sea level in Greenland and is being attributed to climate change, the first time in history that a place on earth has received rain to this day. Didn’t happen, this change surprised the experts.
According to the international website, the rain that fell from the sky on a place on earth where no rain has been recorded till date (since 1950 has been recorded) surprised and disturbed the scientists.
Rainfall was recorded for the first time on a wide strip of greenland at a height of 2 miles above sea level and is being attributed to climate change. Temperatures on this 3216 meter high peak are usually below freezing point. But recently, hot air caused heavy rains and 7 billion tons of water fell on the ice belt.
The US National Science Foundation’s meteorological station saw rain at the site on August 14 but did not have the scale to test it because they did not expect it at all. The rain occurred when Greenland For three days the temperature was 18 degrees above average, resulting in melting snow in most parts of Greenland.
“There is no precedent for what is happening, we have seen something like this that has probably not been seen for centuries,” said Tedd Schumboz, a scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center at the University of Colorado. That is, things cannot change unless we fix everything we do with the atmosphere.
Greenland also had massive snow melts in July, and 2021 became the fourth year of the last century when such massive snow melted. This happened before in 1995, 2012 and 2019.
The melting of rain and snow between August 14 and 16 is being hailed as one of the most significant climatic events of the year. The reason for the snow melting in July and August is the same: warmer winds in the region. Scientists say such incidents are not unprecedented but are increasing in intensity.
If all of Greenland’s ice melts, global sea levels will rise by up to 6 meters, although this may take centuries, but since 1994, billions of tons have melted from Greenland, raising sea levels. The level has increased by 20 cm so far and according to IPCC, it may increase by another 28 to 100 meters.
