Every year more and more pollution is being put in the air and in the last few years it has done a lot of damage to the ice lands. Did you know that in 2003 the ice lands of Greenland, Alaska, and Antarctica has melted over 2 trillion tons of ice due to global warming? This is causing animals to lose their homes and food supply. It is also causing them to die and is causing them to become extinct. Satellites have shown how bad it is getting and how much damage is being done.
The satellites are showing and proving that it global warming is occurring because of the data that is being sent to scientists. The satellites are showing that the ice is disappearing and the water levels of the ocean are getting higher. The ice is still melting and it is damaging the environment. Greenland, Alaska, and Antarctica are melting at different rates, some not as much as the others, but still at a bad rate. Some years are better than others because not so much ice has melted, but every year is different, some really bad, others slightly.
Alaska is not as bad as Greenland, but still bad enough that it has lost 400 billion tons of ice in 2003. Did you know in the past few years due to global warming the sea water levels have risen one-fifth of an inch? If this keeps up, the ice will all melt and it can bring floods to other part of the world due to the rise of sea levels. The water is also expanding from the melting of the ice because it is getting warmer. The animals that live in the cold must have it cold and have to have the ice to live. Did you also know that due to the warmer climate, the glaciers are also shrinking?
Our planet is getting new damage everyday due to the pollution and the melting of ice. Do you know what kind of pollution is in the air which causes global warming and our ice to disappear? It is thought that greenhouse gases are what are damaging the environment. Here are three of the greenhouse gases, methane gas, carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxide these are what do damage to our world. People have to stop polluting the air because it is damaging the earth and the way we all live and survive.
