Hello viewers!
I'm sure all of you are aware of the Greenland situation already, but for those who aren't, this is the deal. Basically, during the course of this month, Greenland's ice sheets have been melting at an alarming rate. Even scientists have been taken by surprise. They are calling this situation 'unprecedented' which means unique and completely unexpected.

As you can see, in just 4 days, Greenland has lost much of its ice sheets, even in Summit station, which is Greenland's highest and coldest point. Records do indicate that this event occurs every 150 years. (the last time this meltdown occurred was 1889)
The meltdown area was from 40% to 97% in the matter of 4 days. Researches say that even though the ice melted extremely fast, the area appears to be freezing again, at a much slower rate. Scientists cannot determine yet if the meltdown is because of global warming, or if it's because of a natural rare event. But even if that cannot be concluded, we should keep global warming in mind. Events like these are huge, even if you don't realise it. We should do everything in our power to keep our planet clean and we should try our best not to pollute.
Hope you guys enjoyed reading this post, share it as much as possible! Thank you guys :)
