A new report by NASA highlights the effect of climate change on the Earth. The statistics in the report show the effect of climate change and the rate at which the ice is melting. At the same time, these figures show how the situation is going to worsen in the coming years. The report focuses on the melting of ice in the Arctic Ocean, where it has been shown how the ice is already decreasing. It has been said that the ice cover of the ocean is disappearing in a large area.
The effect of heat is spreading to the Arctic Ocean and this year the least snow has been witnessed on record. It has become less than the minimum mark. Usually, the average ice cover in the region is 6.22 million square kilometers. But, now there is a much lower amount of ice cover left than the minimum average. This ice cover is now reduced to just 4.67 million square kilometres, which was 1.55 million below the minimum figure for 1981-2010.
According to NASA, some areas are defined as ice-covered, in which the concentration of ice is at least 15 percent. At the same time, NASA continuously tracks this ice and takes care of them through NASA satellites. It is now known that the amount of ice in and around the Arctic Ocean has decreased significantly in the summer. It has been found that it has been below the lowest level 10 times in about 16 years.
