El desagüe natural de un lago de Groenlandia acelera la desaparición de glaciares, esta nota fue publicada por la revista norteamericana Science como resultado de un estudio realizado por el Instituto Oceanográfico Wood Hole y la Universidad de Washington; se explica que el calentamiento global ha provocado deshielos y derrames de agua propiciando un aumento en los niveles de agua en la base de los glaciares, lo que podría acelerar el desplazamiento de masas de hielo que resultaría en una reducción rápida de las mismas, este desplazamiento de los glaciares hacia el mar también provocaría un aumento en el nivel de agua de los mares.
I read that in the southern part of Greenland, they are now able to grow crops that they never could before. Global warming will have its winners and losers. The losers in the warming shift will be those countries near the equator that are already hot. I saw a documentary about the shifting winds also that would bring rains to a part of Africa that now do not get those rains as the winds and rains have shifted to the north. In our part of the USA, we will be having warmer springtime and fall and essentially get a longer growing season. The downside is that we depend on snowfall for our water for crops and drinking. With warmer weather, the snow will be less and provide less of a bank of usable water for later in our normally dry summers.
John, your commentary is very interesting and with documentary value, thank you very much
