The cause of ice on Earth melted fast
Warming air due to climate change is not the only factor that increases ice melting speed at Earth's poles.
The warming air before the effects of climate change is not the only factor that increases the speed of melting ice at Earth's poles, but much due to the warming of water below the ice sheets. .

The finding was published by the University of Arizona (USA) scientists in Nature Geoscience July 3.
Scientists say ocean warming will have a greater impact than warming in the atmosphere because water has a better ability to retain heat than air.
While the melting of the ice floes hardly makes sea level rise, the melting of the ice below, as the water around them warms, will cause glaciers to pour a significant amount of water into the sea. .
In addition, the melting of ice sheets along the coast will also contribute to speeding up the flow of glaciers.
According to experts, the Greenland ice island and parts of the Arctic could melt faster than expected.
People can witness sea level rise by about 1m by the end of this century and continue to rise in the following centuries. The water temperature below the Greenland ice island can increase by 2 degrees Celsius by 2100, while the temperature along the Arctic coast is also warming to about 0.5 degrees Celsius.
