Global warming: Earth's gravity is changing!
A new study, released by NASA, found that Earth's temperature has risen 0.75 ° C since 1900, causing a change in the earth's gravitational field due to melting glaciers. The GRACE mission, which sent two satellites into space to make detailed measurements of the planet's gravity, presented new images that confirm this information.
According to a report published by the British newspaper Daily Mail, the study - called the Met Office - gathered data collected from meteorological stations located in Russia, Canada and Africa, as well as measuring sea temperatures, providing more complete and accurate information than previous records.
According to the researchers, the records indicate that the warmest years were those of 2005 and 2010, and the 10 highest temperatures occurred during the last 14 years. The study should be made available soon, making all information public, preventing scandals such as Climategate, in which scientists were accused of forging data on global warming.
GRACE satellites conducted surveys of Greenland melting glaciers, showing very accurately that they suffered a massive loss of mass between 2002 and 2011, corresponding to a sea level rise of 0.7 mm per year. Such an increase, however slight, causes the Earth's gravitational field to change, which may have consequences in the future.
