According to climate scientists, against a background of global warming, the melting of the Greenland ice sheet continues to grow. Over the past 30 years, the level of the World Ocean has increased by almost two centimeters.

The Greenland ice sheet has lost about 4,700 gigatonnes of ice since April 2002.

Climate scientists have found in the opinion that global warming inside will change the face of the Earth, in the event of an increase in temperature, it is not possible to keep the mark of 1.5 ° C compared to pre-industrial levels.

Such conclusions were obtained on the basis of data from climate satellites, land meteorological stations and data from ocean buoys, as well as using computer models of the planet's climate.
