Antarctica: an unusual weather event…

It is important to mention a recent report by Scientists of an unusual weather event in Antarctica.

The report notified Governments everywhere that some regions of Antarctica have experienced temperatures as much as 70℃ (i.e Seventy Degrees Celsius) which are above normal temperature averages that are usual to the region: normally Antarctica has a temperature average of between 30℃ to 40℃, and therefore the recent manifestation of a temperature surge is a matter of concern, as it means that the ice shelves of Antarctica will continue melting at more of an an increasing rate of acceleration.

As huge amounts of water are continuing to be released into the sea from the sub-surface melting of eroding ice shelves; this event has implications for most cities and villages which are located in and around coastal areas where the sea level will continue to rise rapidly and flood such populated coastal areas.

Also, the landmass of many Island Nations will shrink, as much of their corpus becomes  increasingly submerged by rising sea-levels. This in turn creates the problem of  salt water penetration occurring inland and damaging arable areas of land where the land would have otherwise been relatively healthy enough for agricultural usage and any resulting salt water damage throughout areas of agricultural land will put increasing pressure on global food security.

Amazonia:

Rising temperatures in Antarctica are definitely not good news for the Amazon Rain Forest Basin, as Regional Temperatures in the southern Hemisphere of South America continue to increase, whereby the cycle of Drought and Flooding is likely to become more severe: crops will be at risk and peoples dwellings will have to relocate to Mastaba style tiered reinforced levels in order to minimise destructive torrents of water.

In addition, El Nino and El Nina effects stimulated by higher temperatures in Antarctica will undoubtedly also affect the Northern Hemisphere in ways which cannot be fully predicted…
