An attempted experiment by the Guerra Fría has revealed its secret gel: its bad news for the planet

Al principio, Andrew Christ founded an extasiado. On the other hand, from the bottom of the Greenland cape, she discovered the remains of ancient plants. Only another team of investigators has encountered a debilitating vegetation mass of one millimeter of height.

But then Christ determines the amount of time that has passed since this sun appeared in the light of the sun: less than a million years ago. Solo un abrir y cerrar de ojos en geminógic terminus.

Y se le ocurrió. If there are any plants that grow in different points of the surface of Greenland, so it means that the heel that now covers the island is completely worn out. And if the Greenland cape of all had been worn a week before in a very long time, it means that you have to be willing to disappear.

“Oh, God,” he thought.

The hallazgos, published on Monday in the Actas de la Academia Nacional de Ciencias, indican que the mayor reserves the heel in the northern hemisphere can collapse due to relatively small increases in temperature during a long period of time. It’s the most vulnerable to human calamity caused by the fact that the Earth’s fast more than any other period in its history.

“We know that the Greenland cape has this umbrella”, says Christ, and humanity is empathetic.

The inverting gas emissions of human activities increased the global media temperatures by more than 1 degree Celsius (1.4 degrees Fahrenheit) from 1880 onwards. Groenlandia is losing ground to its fastest pace since its human inventory of Agriculture, which provoked an increase of approximately 14 millimeters from the sea level in the last sailing week.

If the heel cape of the island is derrited now, the global level of the sea will increase by more than 20 pieces (one six meters).

“We will not want to be like this,” said Christ, a geologist at the University of Vermont. “Subraya the urgency of ten that changes the form in which of the things at this moment”.

The history of this sue master is as dramatic as the dates it contains. Provision of the foundation of a tomato nucleus during the “Iceworm Project”, a failed attempt by the Free War to cultivate nuclear missiles from the Greenland ice sheet.

Camp Century, in the northeastern part of Greenland, to be the base of the United States military project. The living, the counters and the medical installations, all fed by a nuclear reactor, were excavated in hell.

In the “battle between man and nature … the man took his scientist logos scientifically, the power of the atom, to the end of the world”, declared the tenant Walter Cronkite during a visit in 1960. “But you can live here? Can you hold the strong force of the heel without edging? ”.

To disregard the proposal of the company, the United States of America solicits and conducts investigations into the situation. Between the experiments a unique project is found in its type to obtain a heel nucleus that increases the depth of the heel cap.

“This is the key to our revolution in global climate change,” said Christ. In addition to the types of oxygen contained within each cape of ice, the powder investigators obtain an approximate estimate of what temperature is present when the water is released. The Greenland Greenland Ice Nucleus and other cities have allowed scientists to reconstruct a global temperature record that goes back decades.

Nearly 12 pulgadas (one 30 cm) from the base of the camp Century heel nucleus will never be studied.

Mientras tanto, The location of the “Iceworm Project” is evident when the very beginning of the movement. The tunnels are collapsing. The team is applauded. The nuclear reactor was rapidly dismantled and the camp abandoned. All recovered scientific materials will be sent to laboratories and will soon be returned to them.

More than a dozen sailors later, glaciologist Jørgen Steffensen was making an inventory of the University of Copenhagen’s nucleus deposit when it came to the top as it looked like tarts of gallows, arena and earth. Curiously, they sent some colleagues to the analysts.

The masters will play at the University of Vermont in never-ending portfolios of conjugal packages. A Christ, a doctoral student entourage, is taking the task of examining the material, extracting intriguing fragments and colocarlos in microscopic port objects.

It is inclined to mirror, and its eyes are enlarged. “His robes, hojas and musgo”, dijo, “are separated by conventions for hundreds of years. Literally, it seems that podrían has already lived ayer ”.

Christ convenes a su asor, Paul Bierman, an assistant of the pregrado and the laboratory. All empezaron to saltar, reir and gritar, meanwhile a group of tourists from the secondary school miraba with desconcierto.

“This is the most emotional day of my scientific life and you are here for it,” Christ recalls that they have to adolescents.

The fossils pass on to plant experts for a more detailed analysis, and Christ disposes to try to determine when he was born. Uses a technique called data cosmogenic nuclei, which estimates the time when the rocks have been introduced to analyze the particles created when the materials are exposed to the radiation of the space.

The first analysis suggests that the plants do not have more than a million years, which is what Deben had created during the epoch of repeated decades of very known ice like Pleistocene. During this time, the concentrations of inert gases in the atmosphere are much lower than the current levels, and the Earth will soon be as strong as ever.

“If hubiéramos found an oath much mayor, habría side impressive, but could not have side tan aterrador”, dijo Christus. ‘Porque what we find means that the cape of the heel is derrited and elevated the level of the sea within a climatic system like ours. So, as a climate scientist, I’m getting pregnant ”.

If more studies are needed to reduce the time period during which time it may have occurred this time, Christ. Probably sued during a period of relative heat known as “interglacial”. The cape of the Habrian helium decreased slowly, as did a moving ice cube of the conqueror on the iceberg.

The actual detrimental in Greenland appears more like a cube of heel that is passed from the horn to the horn. And the human beings follow the temperature of the horn.

It is probable that all of Greenland’s cape cape will be destroyed in the immediate future.

“But if we call the cape of ice more than 1.5 degrees Celsius”, a scientific number of the United Nations identified as the umbrella for a catastrophic climatic change, “the complete elimination risk increases by more than one” Isabella Velicogna, expert and hero at the University of California, Irvine, is not part of the new studio.

The hecho of that is haya sucedido for natural causes in the passage is not a consuelo, aggregate. The geological records show the cost of climatic changes to animals and ecosystems, and offer an advertisement on how to promote humanity.

Although the world is drastically reducing its emissions of greenhouse gas emissions, scientists project that Greenland will lose up to 35,900 million million tons of ice during the rest of the voyage. The rising level of the sea level will excrete the three paths (like a subway), dramatically increasing hurricanes and floods.

Christ treated me to imagine that debiab had passed through the mind of the men who had mastered these patterns in the 1960s. The people were much more preoccupied with the imminent establishment of a nuclear war.

And, without embarrassment, “including at this moment in history, we are living the tiered climatic system of the Tierra a territory,” said Christ.

Los hallazgos ofrecen a species of poetic justice, continued: More than 60 years ago, the stadiums flew to Greenland creating the podium to conquer the ice. Pero salieron con una dura lesson about the fragility of humanity.
