Antarctica’s temperature reaches 20 ° C for the first time, breaking the 38-year record

The heat is rising in the world. For the first time in the South Pole Antarctica, temperatures can be predicted to reach 20 Celsius (20.75 C). The temperature was measured on February 9 at a research station located in Seymour Island, Antarctica. It was first recorded on the island of Sai in January 1982 at a temperature of 19.8 Celsius. Brazilian investigator Carlos Schiffer told the news agency that this could be seen as a warning about earth warming.

Temperatures of 18.3 Celsius were recorded on February 6 at the Argentinian research station in Esparranza, Antarctica, according to the British newspaper The Guardian. However, the temperatures recorded at the South Pole have yet to be confirmed by the World Metrological Organization.

Temperature check-ups are conducted every three days at research stations located in remote areas in Antarctica. Scientists have found the increase to be alarming and unusual. According to Carlos Schiffer, who studies the effects of climate change on 23 sites in Antarctica, “We are seeing warming trends on many sites, but this type has never seen a rise in temperature”. Temperatures have fluctuated in the James Roy archipelago in 20 years. The 21st Century Initiative Decades’m so cold, but the heat is increasing in the second decade.

According to scientists connected with the Brazilian Antarctica program, the temperature rise in the South Pole may be due to the influence of oceanic rivers and El Niનોo. Currently, atmospheric changes are being observed, which may increase the temperature of the poles.

In the Antarctica area (60 ° south latitude and above) 70% of the world’s fresh water. If all the glaciers here are crossed, the sea level will rise 50-60 meters. UN scientists estimate that by the end of the 21st century the ocean floor will rise 30 to 110 cm. Which would have to stop emissions in any case to stop it.
