Scientists are seriously

Scientists are seriously concerned about the situation with an increase in water level, mainly due to the situation in Greenland and western Antarctica, where the melting of glaciers can be traced very clearly, writes Joinfo.ua. So according to the senior author of the study, the representative of Imperial College London, Martin Siegert, glaciers threaten threat to hundreds of millions of people living in coastal areas around the world. "I predict that by the end of this century, large cities are located near the sea, they will be forced to build two-three-meter facilities for protection from water, "- said on.Osobuyu alarming giant glacier Totten, the dimensions of which correspond to the French territory - the lower part is washed away with warm salt water, creating the base of the glacier and gateways leading to the collapse of the upper part of lednika.Segodnya experts plan to create a contour map of Totti, using satellite data and has found that it is just as melt in a period of global warming, a few million years ago. However, while this could be a "dress rehearsal" - with all their might that hit the Earth, it will show in the near future. "Glacier Totten - a slumbering giant," - Andy says Shepard, director of the Center for Polar Observation and Modelling University of Leeds in England, stressing that "signs of thawing today clearly warned about the changes that may be on the horizon."
