The Arctic Sea is the hottest 2,000 years

The ocean currents flowing from the North Atlantic to the Arctic are the hottest in over 2000 years, according to a new scientific study published.

The record hot temperature of the ocean currents flowing from the North Atlantic to the Arctic is threatening
polar bear life, creatures that live on icebergs.

According to the Daily Mail , the sea between the Greenland region and the Svalbard Islands of Norway has the highest average temperature of 6 degrees Celsius in recent summers, higher than the temperature in this area during the Roman period . Scientists fear that the temperature in this area will continue to increase in the near future, threatening the polar bear habitat .

In addition, melting ice due to rising temperatures may also cause the world sea level to rise. This may lead to an environmental disaster in the near future.

A group of scientists from the University of Colorado in Boulder State (USA) conducted research on plankton and sediments dating back 2,000 years ago in the Fram Strait region - the area connecting the Atlantic Ocean with the Greenland and Svalbard Islands in the Arctic.

Analysis of these organisms and matter can help scientists determine the temperature of seawater in this region over time. The results showed that the average temperature of the Arctic sea water 150 years ago was about 3.4 degrees Celsius, while the current temperature is up to 5.2 degrees C. In some summers, The temperature can rise to 6 degrees C.

The team is concerned that increasing temperatures in the Arctic will exacerbate global warming. The reason is, the Arctic ice - which acts as an air conditioner to cool the Earth - is melting because the temperature in this area is high.
