According British scientists, the loss Floating ice each year would be similar to 1.5 million icebergs, which means that the increase of the sea is equivalent to 49 micrometers (the diameter of a hair). For the moment nothing to worry about, but estimates -beyond the decline of the ice sheet is slowly

sea level rise could reach some

feet per century.

Apparently, this situation is more rapid in West Antarctica (region of South America and Australia). It is known that the total mass of this ice represents 90% worldwide and 70% of freshwater reserves and that the surface continental ice is 14 million square kilometers.

Also, large chunks of ice that broke off in recent years due to global warming. The issue is this:

warming of the polar caps can cause melting of the ice and raising ocean levels, which would generate economic and social consequences are disastrous for the planet

. There will be attentive not it?
