Arctic spring heatwave linked to fossil fuel emissions shattered century-old records
A record-setting May heatwave in Iceland and Greenland was made roughly 3°C hotter by human-caused climate change, according to new research.Euronews reports.In short:Scientists from the World Weather Attribution group found that climate change intensified May's Arctic heatwave, causing Greenland’s eastern region to hit 14.3°C and Iceland to set a national May record of 26.6°C.The heat triggered ice melt in Greenland at 17 times the normal rate,…
Scientists say Greenland and Iceland are scorching hot in May due to human activity, warn the effects of the unusually rapid melting of Arctic ice could be global
Human-induced climate change raised temperatures in Iceland and Greenland by several degrees in May, raising concerns about the effects of melting Arctic ice on weather patterns around the world, scientists said in an analysis by the World Weather Attribution organization published today.
Man-made climate change increased temperatures in Iceland and Greenland by several degrees during a record heat wave in May, raising concern about the far-reaching implications of melting in the Arctic for climate around the world, according to a scientific analysis published on Wednesday. Greenland's ice sheet melted much faster than normal during the heat wave, according to World Weather Attribution's analysis, and at least two communities rec…
In Greenland, May saw a dramatic acceleration in ice melt, occurring at a rate seventeen times faster than normal, raising concerns about its global impact.
