Study: Arctic heat wave affects whole world
Human-caused climate change boosted Iceland and Greenland's temperatures by several degrees during a record-setting May heat wave, raising concerns about the far-reaching implications melting Arctic ice has for weather around the world, scientists said in an analysis released Wednesday.
Scientists Alarmed As Greenland Ice Melting 17 Times Faster Amid Record Heat Wave
What happens in the Arctic doesn’t stay in the Arctic. Greenland’s ice sheet just melted 17 times faster than its usual pace during a brutal May heatwave, scientists revealed this week. And that’s not just bad news for polar bears—it’s bad news for all of us. “This kind of melting rate simply wouldn’t have happened without climate change,” said Friederike Otto, climate scientist at Imperial College London. Greenland isn’t alone. Iceland baked un…
Record high temperatures hit Greenland and Iceland, Copernicus Observatory warns
Greenland experienced a melting rate 17 times faster than average last month due to record-high temperatures, while Iceland saw temperatures exceed 26°C, the European Copernicus Observatory reported this week.
May 2025 was the world's second warmest since the measurement began. In Greenland, the ice melts 17 times faster than normal - with dramatic consequences for sea level.
The weather is expected to be clear throughout the country today. The height of the Greenland Sea controls the weather with a northeasterly or variable direction. The temperature today will be from 7 degrees on the northeast coast, up to 18 degrees southwest. However, some low clouds will stick around until the morning in North and East Iceland, according to the meteorologist's thoughts. Similar weather will be expected tomorrow, warm and clear …
Greenland ice has melted 17 times faster than average for the season as record temperatures near the Arctic Circle reached 26 degrees Celsius. Scientists warn that the event, a direct result of man-made climate change, threatens infrastructure, the lives of indigenous communities and global sea levels.
