World's Ice Is Melting <br />Faster Than Ever, , Say Climate Scientists.<br />Analysis of a new global satellite survey was <br />published Monday in the journal 'Cryosphere.'.<br />According to the analysis, 28 trillion metric tons <br />of the Earth's ice were lost between 1994 and 2017.<br />It’s such a huge amount <br />it’s hard to imagine it, Thomas Slater, University of Leeds Center for Polar <br />Observation and Modeling, via 'The Wall Street Journal'.<br />The data amounts to a 65 percent acceleration <br />in the loss of global ice in the mid-1990s.<br />The Northern Hemisphere accounted <br />for the majority of the loss of ice.<br />Ice plays a crucial role in <br />regulating the global climate, Thomas Slater, University of Leeds Center for Polar <br />Observation and Modeling, via 'The Wall Street Journal'.<br />Losses will increase the frequency of extreme weather events such as flooding, fires, storm surges and heat waves, Thomas Slater, University of Leeds Center for Polar <br />Observation and Modeling, via 'The Wall Street Journal'
