Global Warming Melts Tibetan Plateaus
The Epoch Times | Global Warming Melts Tibetan PlateausChinese scientists have discovered that global warming is melting frozen soil on plateaus in Tibet. Their research indicates that the frozen soil is not as thick as previous measurements.
Nan Zhuotong, director of the Environmental and Engineering Research Institute at China’s Academy of Science pointed out that the global warming effect is the driving force of degeneration of the frozen soil in the last 30 years. The increase in temperature has lead to seasonal decreases of frozen soil and increases in the size of thawing surfaces throughout the region.
