Greenland, which’s 85 percent of land area covered with ice or snow is considered one of the coldest countries in the world.
World’s largest island Greenland, has seen its first unexpected rainfall on 14 August.
The situation was so unexpected that the scientists were not ready to measure the rainfall while agreed on an estimated 7bn tones of water were released from the clouds.
From the last three days, a record 18C average temperature was recorded in Greenland which causes the melting of ice in most of Greenland.
According to a report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, “carbon emissions from human activities were heating the planet and causing impacts such as melting ice and rising sea level.”
In May, the researcher reported that a massive part of Greenland ice is melted in such a way that it could not recover again even if global temperature is in control.
“What is going on is not simply a warm decade or two in a wandering climate pattern. This is unprecedented. We are crossing thresholds not seen in millennia, and frankly, this is not going to change until we adjust what we’re doing to the air,” said Ted Scambos, a scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center at the University of Colorado.
If all the ice of Greenland melts, Humans have to experience six Meters of global sea-level rise.
