As global warming intensifies, the ice cape is
melting in a faster and faster way. According
to NASA, the polar ice caps are melting at an
alarming rate of 9% per decade. The
thickness of the Arctic Ice has decreased by
40% since the 1960s. And Antarctica is losing
ice mass (melting) at an average rate of about
150 billion tons per year. With reference to
Statistic 2, the ice cap had melted more than
2500 gigatons between 1994 to 2016.
Moreover, the scientists have found 900
never-before-seen species of microbes living
inside glaciers on the Tibetan Plateau And
one of them was fatal. Because of the melting
of ice caps, the polar bears no longer have
place to live, they can not live without the ice,
they will die or become extinct. In order to fix
this problem, we can use electricity and water
wisely, reduce water waste and eat the food you buy and take in less meat.
