Global Climate Change: A Giant Ice Break From Antarctica
26.03.2008 Bianet[
The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) announced it was to break from an iceulun Antartika with about 500 kilometer of the Southern Pole.
[[T]The detection based on video and satellite images that people get, said that global climate change is the result. [ David Vaughan, who predicted that the Wilkins ice mass in order to break at the moment in his statement on [1993, would melt in 30 years, "I didn’t think that these things will develop quickly. The ice mass stands with a small connection – we will understand what’s going on in a few days.”
] Jim Elliot, located in the BAS research team to the region, did not see anything like this. We’ve witnessed the mass of flews and giant ice over the main pocket to break like grave stones.
Antarktika region has started to warm in an unprecedented way over the past 50 years. In the last 30 years, six of the copan ice masses from the mainland were completely destroyed.
Vaughan "Global climate change, located in the south of Antarctica and began to threaten ice masses, which are fixed accordingly. The break of the Wilkins mass will not now lead to a rise in the sea level, because it still floats, but this incident has once again demonstrated the devastating effect of global climate change. [
