two decades of satellite readings have proven the rate of the melting arctic ice. scientist say the increase of global warming in the past couple of years have played a huge role in the melting. the loss of billions of tons of ice every year have added over 45 millimeters in the past 5 years. based on these incresing rates, the rate of the sinking land has raised up to 20%.
i find this repot personally frightening because i couldnt imagine scientist telling me the land i was living on was sinking so quickly. i hope we can get our global warming under control before real damage is made.

This is a scary thought. Global warming is certainly a major problem in this world. I think Texas is feeling it too - it is so much warmer than it usually is right now.
ReplyDeleteThe world has had MANY a temperature fluxes in the past just because we're having one now doesn't mean it's global warming or the world's gonna end!!
