Global Warming

Because of the global warming the highest mountain in Western Europe became higher. Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in Western Europe, in two years grew up more than 2 meters. As a result of global warming the height of mountain, as reported the geodetic service of French department of the Upper Savoy, has achieved 4810.9 meters. Previously, the height of this Alpine mountain was 4807 meters; however, in 2003 Mont Blanc has started to grow, and most quickly the top grew in the latest months. “The height, just as the volume of Mont Blanc, has considerably increased. This happened because of the fact that during the last two years at the peak was formed the snowy massif”, explained geodesist Philip Borel.

The amount of ice on slopes of mountain has increased almost twice since 2005, having made, including this year, 24.1 thousand cubic meters. Furthermore, the volume of snow on Mont Blanc also has grown, which became consequence of winds and high summer temperatures. Scientists consider that blameworthy is -global warming. “As a result at the height more than 4 thousand meters were formed the snow deposits, which covered the slopes of mountain”, explains meteorologist Ian Dzhiezendanner. He considers that this increase in the mountains is characteristic of high Alpine tops. “The layer of ice at the high apexes increases, at that time as ice at the average or low heights thaws and it can completely disappear”, - the scientist has told.

Icy chunk for the first time appeared on Republic of South Africa coasts. The iceberg with a surface part with the size of 25 meters at width and 20 meters in height, the first was noticed by the command of the fishing vessel Ntini. South African seamen never earlier observed a similar spectacle, and approximation of an iceberg they have considered as extraordinary disaster.
“That the splinter of the ice cover of Antarctica reached the South African coast,- assert they-, confirms the theory about the fact that the global warming most strongly affects in the Southern hemisphere and in the region of the South Pole, above which is located the largest ozone hole”.

According to the employee of National institute of rescue on sea Krejg Lambinona, sea authorities also have apprehended the message about the appearance of an iceberg extremely seriously. The sea radio-service has left into ether with the corresponding warning for the vessels which are being in the area of the drifting ice block.

Now to “the transport” of the iceberg into Saint Francois bay, where it would not interfere with navigation, were cast the forces of sea rescue service, and also the Air Forces and The Naval forces of the South Africa Republic
