科學家16日公佈一份最新報告，證實2002年的南極冰棚分離是因全球氣候變遷所導致。研究人員發現，吹拂過北南極洲半島的盛行西風，受到人類引發的暖化現象影響，導致夏季氣溫急遽上升，進一步引發拉森B冰棚範圍縮小和分離。
Antarctic Ice Shelf Collapse Tied to Global Warming
Scientists on Monday reported the first direct evidence linking the 2002 collapse of an Antarctic ice shelf to global climate change. The researchers found that stronger westerly winds in the northern Antarctic Peninsula, fueled primarily by human-induced warming, were responsible for the dramatic summer warming that led to the retreat and collapse of the Larsen B ice shelf.
