Vital Signs of the Planet: Global Climate Change and Global Warming. Current news and data streams about global warming and climate change from NASA. Graphs showing annual Greenland and Antarctic ice mass loss based on GRACE and GRACE-FO satellite data.
Temperature and weather changes. Parts of East Antarctica (marked in blue) are currently the only place on Earth to regularly experience negative greenhouse effect during certain months of the year. At greater warming levels, this effect is likely to disappear due to increasing concentrations of water vapor over Antarctica [26]
The Antarctic Peninsula, the part of Antarctica furthest from the South Pole, has been warming rapidly, five times faster than the global average. Since 1950, the Antarctic Peninsula has warmed almost 3°C (5.4°F). That's more warming than anywhere else in the Southern Hemisphere.
20 lip 2022 · Between 1992 and 2017, global warming caused the loss of almost 2700 gigatonnes (2700 billion tonnes) of ice from the Antarctic ice sheet – including through the collapse of large ice shelves – contributing about 8 mm to mean sea level rise.
4 gru 2023 · This global warming has been unequivocally linked to anthropogenic greenhouse gas increase and has affected every region on Earth 1. The Antarctic Peninsula (AP) is one of the fastest...
The Antarctic ice sheet covers 8.3% of the Earth’s surface and is the largest store of frozen fresh water on the planet. If all the ice melted to liquid water, it would raise global sea levels...
15 lis 2023 · Antarctica is losing a staggering 150 billion tons of glacier ice a year, and this rate of ice loss is accelerating. The main cause is ocean warming, which not only melts the ice sheet directly, but also thins the floating ice shelves that hold the ice sheet on land.
