According to Dennis Höning, a climate scientist at the Potsdam Institute, which is located in Germany, the melting of arctic ice will climb 7 meters sea level in the world, which will lead to disasters.
He said that scientists are currently trying to calculate when the point of no return in this sense, through a simulation based on the level of carbon emissions.
“The first turning point is not far from the weather conditions so we are in danger of crossing it, as soon as we start to slip, we will fall off this cliff and we will not be able to go back up,” the researcher specified.
Why are scientists alarmed by melting ice in the Arctic?
The thaw will bring complications for all species on the planet
And it is that as we have mentioned in other informative notes of The Truth News Experts on the subject have stated on various occasions that the rapid warming of the Arctic and the melting ice will bring, in addition to climatic effects, economic and geopolitical implications derived from the opening of new navigation routes and access to resources of high economic interest.
Dennis Höning, explained that the study identified two critical points: the release of 1,000 gigatonnes of carbon into the atmosphere will cause the southern part of the ice sheet to melt; while some 2,500 gigatonnes of carbon mean the permanent loss of almost the entire ice sheet.
It should be noted that on this subject, NASA has stated that the alarming process of sea level rise, which is no less than 8 centimeters in the last 23 years, which they qualify as worrisome.
According to a study carried out by the US space agency, water is increasingly invading coastal areas, causing soil erosion and threatening crop fields, homes or leisure areas.

It also points out that if the rise in sea level continues, there will be greater flooding of wetlands and the contamination of aquifers, affecting the flora and fauna of each place, causing the loss of habitat for fish, birds, plants and many other species.
On the other hand, a sea with a higher level causes storms, unleashes high-intensity storms and other major atmospheric phenomena that can be a real threat to the populations that are in its path.
