Climate change caused by man led to an unnatural sharp increase in Iceland and Greenland temperature by a few degrees. A record setting can cause concerns about the long -term consequences of the melting of Arctic ice for weather around the world, AP said.
According to the report, the ice cover of Greenland melted many times faster than usual during the wave wave in May. Some parts of Iceland recorded temperatures of more than 10 ° C (18 ° F) above the average and the ground set a record for its hottest weather in May, when Egilsstadir Airport hit 15.6.6 ° C (79.9 F) 15 May.
The findings come when global leaders focus more on Greenland, the semi -autonomous territory of Denmark, follow the comments of US President Donald Trump that he wanted to entertain the island rich in minerals.
What caused an unnatural temperature increase?
Burning fossil fuels in large quantities for the production of electricity and fuel transport leads to the release of pollutants such as carbon dioxide that causes the planet to heat up rapidly. Arctic is one of the fastest warming points on the planet.
Even in today’s climate, the occurrence of such a strong heat wave in the Arctic region is relatively rare, with only 1 percent of the chance in the year.

Friederike Otto, Associate Professor of Climate Science at Imperial College London, said, AP that without changing the climate caused by man, such an event will be “basically impossible”.
Global Impacts of the melting of Arctic
Otto also said AP that the event of extreme weather will affect the world.
When the ice scale of Greenland melts, it releases a huge amount of fresh water into the salty oceans. Scientists say it could slow down the “Atlantic inverted circulation”, an ocean stream that circulates water from the Gulf of Mexico through the Atlantic Ocean to Europe and then Arctic, AP said.
Such slowing could disrupt global climate patterns and weather.
“The nature of the weather in the northern hemisphere is directly tied to what is happening in the Arctic, because this ice floor basically helps to determine the weather patterns we get,” said Abdalati, led by the Institute for Environmental Sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder.
The Greenland Ice Scarning and other LEDs covering the Arctic area can affect where and when the wind blows, how much water has the wind and whether the clotting falls like rain or snow, said etc.

Usually most of the melting of the ice cover of Greenland ice happens in June, July and August. May Heat Wave means that this year will be a longer melting season, which can endanger lives.
The melting of ice leaves and glaciers can also cause sea levels, imminent flooding of the coast around the world and flooding of low -lying island nations in the Pacific Ocean, AP said.
The indigenous communities in Greenland are increasingly engaged in dangerous travel conditions, because the melting of ice means that the approach to traditional hunting points will lose and dogs can no longer travel in the same ways. The situation can also destabilize buildings and increase the risk of landslides and tsunami caused by landslides, said etc.
Greenland rejects us annexation move
Trump recently showed interest in the connection of Greenland because of its rich reserves of minerals of oil, gas and rare soils. The proximity of the island to the US, Russia and Europe also has geopolitical attraction.
Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said that Greenland “will never be, will never be property that only anyone can buy,” as the AP states.

Deputy Head of Scientist in the US National Data Center Snow and Ice, Twil Moon, said, AP that it is important that the Greenci lead a decision on their own territory. “An important part of this conversation is certainly about climate change and climate impact,” she said.
The moon said that the impact of climate is experiencing Greenland, especially global warming temperatures, stems from well identified sources such as highly polluting nations and industries. She said action such as a transfer to solar or wind energy and a transition to a transport that emits less pollution can create positive impacts on climate for people.
