In July of the current year the world community was shocked with the news that the Greenland glaciers were melting at an unprecedented high speed. Let's remind, that several satellites, confirmed widespread melting of the ice sheet, including those areas that are not year-round are melting.
Natural melting, and with it the panic media continued for four days, until the process has stabilized, and the glaciers of Greenland have not become again gain the ice mass.
Specialist glaciers NASA Tom Wagner in those days, commented: "In Greenland came anomalous wave of warm air, which literally began to melt island".
However, after months of NASA addressed journalists with results of detailed measurement of melt of Greenland". Leading glaciologist at NASA Laura Koenig said that this happens about once in a half century. The study of ice cores showed that the last time anomalous melting of the ice shield of the island took place in 1889.
In turn, the climate scientist Thomas ILO explained why this phenomenon happened: "This summer was in Greenland abnormally warm. For a long time over the island was dominated by the high-pressure, which led to a warm, Sunny weather and led to abnormal melting of snow and ice".
