Es Kutub Utara Mencair - Sized ice island 30 km x 10 km off the Petermann Glacier, Greenland, south of the North Pole last week. The giant iceberg is now crossing the Arctic Ocean. If the melt, the ice island was not very influential for Indonesian waters.
"The quantity of ice that broke out when the island was not very influential, except floating ice of the United States, it was just threatening," said climate researcher from the University of Hamburg, Dr. Armi Susandi, while talking to AFP on Thursday (07/12/2010).
In general, floating ice will impact on increasing the volume of sea water around the island waters traversed by the ice. "Volume in Indonesia itself is not too large, so not very influential," explains that ITB academicians.
In addition to increasing the volume of sea water around the area traversed by the ice island, which need to be aware that there is a threat to ecosystems in the sea.
"Because of climate change on ecosystems of course there will move. Akibatya fishermen fishing patterns will change and other impacts that fishing will require an additional cost," he said.
Then, what the impact directly to the tropical regions like Indonesia?
"It's not the volume of sea water that must be monitored, but changes in the weather that occurred at will nature," said Armi.
The weather changes, added Armi, is the occurrence of extreme weather changes. He cited Indonesia's transition should be entered into the rainy season it occurred outside forecasts.
"In sub-tropical areas of rain will be many, and Indonesia will experience dry because of the clouds that bring water vapor moves to the sub-tropical regions such as Pakistan. This is what we should be aware," he said.
Armi claiming the release of one of the island of ice caused by global warming, where water with high temperatures into the cracks of the glacier. "Global warming is increasingly accelerate the process of breakup of the glacier," says Armi.
In addition to increasing the volume of an impact on the surrounding water, the island is feared disturbing activity boats surrounding it.
