Ice loss to add 0.4C to global temperatures - study

The loss of billions of tonnes of ice from Earth's frozen spaces is likely to increase global temperatures by an additional 0.4 degrees Celsius, according to research highlighting the danger of a "vicious circle" of warming.

Decades of studies have sought to quantify how Earth's melting ice will contribute to sea level rise - Antarctica and Greenland alone contain enough frozen water to boost oceans' height by around 60 metres. They found that under current levels of atmospheric CO2 - roughly 400 parts per million - the melting of Arctic sea ice, mountain glaciers and the polar ice caps would raise temperatures by 0.4C.

"If global ice masses shrink, this changes how much of the sunlight that hits the Earth's surface is reflected back into space," said lead author Nico Wunderling."If you wear dark, you heat up more easily," Mr Wunderling noted. Looking solely at Arctic sea ice - which unlike polar ice caps might be totally absent during summer months within decades - they found its melt would contribute 0.2C to global temperatures alone.

Could Abortion have any negative impact on the world and society? Curious.

Fact:Romania ,Tirgu Mures ,A&E -50 staff were positive moths ago,now they did the test :48 no antibody evidence,so probably many did not had it ,the tests are showing false strains of flu. Why are HCWs not being swabbed? They could bring infection into the hospital.
