Annual end-of-melt-season changes for the Arctic’s largest ice shelf in Northeast Greenland are measured by optical satellite imagery, the survey known as GEUS said. It shows that the area’s ice losses for the past two years each exceeded 50 square kilometers .The ice shelf has lost 160 square kilometers , an area nearly twice that of Manhattan in New York, since 1999.
“We should be very concerned about what appears to be progressive disintegration at the Arctic’s largest remaining ice shelf,” said GEUS professor Jason Box. “Another massive chunk of vital sea ice has fallen into the ocean,” said Greenpeace spokeswoman Laura Meller who is aboard the organization’s ship Arctic Sunrise at the edge of the sea ice. “This is yet another alarm bell being rung by the climate crisis in a rapidly heating Arctic.”
Last week, Ruth Mottram, an ice scientist at the Danish Meteorological Institute in Copenhagen, said, “again this year, the ice sheet has lost more ice than has been added in the form of snow.” “What is thought-provoking is that if we ... had seen this meltdown 30 years ago, we would have called it extreme. So in recent years, we have become accustomed to a high meltdown.”during an extra-warm 2019, with the melt massive enough to cover California in more than 1.25 meters of water.

This is another alarming reminder that we need to take climate change very serious because not does climate change threatening the environment but, it also threatens us too.
Climate change is the go to explanation for some scientists when they do not understand the reason of many phenomena that happen on earth.
Where’s the outrage over the cops shot in cold blood in LA County? Where are Democrat’s who have pushed anti cop narratives for the last three months? Where’s kamala on her defund the police Where’s the media outrage? Democrats created this insanity! Democrats own this!

people who write this off as “climate changes” are like an idiot who says “people get cancer” while smoking a pack a day. sure, what you said, but you’re making it way worse by continuing to do what you are currently
Too late. whatever has to happen will happen.
