According to a study conducted by scientists at the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), the rapid melting of Arctic ice is causing global climate change, creating serious environmental and economic risks for many countries.
Over the past decade, the accelerated melting of Arctic ice has led to a drier climate in the southwestern United States, particularly in California. This process is especially noticeable in winter, posing serious risks to water resources and agriculture.
In European countries such as Spain and Portugal, this melting is leading to an increase in winter precipitation. As a result of increased humidity levels, these countries are more likely to experience floods and other natural disasters.
The rapid warming of the Arctic has also led to a weakening of the strong wind currents that regulate global weather. This is causing severe weather changes in North America and Europe, including severe cold or anomalous heat waves. For example, the cold wave that froze Texas in 2021 and the severe flooding during Hurricane Harvey in 2017 were caused by the weakening of this polar wind system.
In Canada, the melting of Arctic ice is also posing a serious threat to flora and fauna. Many animal and plant species are facing extinction due to the loss of their habitat. In addition, the melting of ice is changing sea routes in the region, which is creating new problems for the economic and transportation sectors.
The melting of ice in Greenland is causing even greater global environmental problems. The melting of the Arctic ice is leading to a global rise in sea levels, increasing the risk of coastal flooding around the world.
The results of these studies show that the melting of the Arctic ice will have serious consequences not only for countries near the Arctic, but also for countries around the world. It is already clear that global cooperation is needed to solve and prevent these problems.
