Environmental Issue : 1 - The Big Global Melt

Hi everyone! I am back with another article. So, welcome to the environmental issue series! This series will have a variety of topics focusing on environment and saving our earth for our future.

The Big Global Melt

Yes, this is the major problem right now. The Earth is heating up and the glaciers and which are in the Arctic, Antarctic, and even in the Himalayas are melting down.

What is the problem?

If all the glaciers and icebergs are melting down the water will fill up the continents and our Earth will be covered with water and nothing will able to survive. We have to stop it.

This Feb, Antarctica witnessed its hottest temperature on record, resulting in widespread melting of nearby glaciers. During this period, the images show drastic changes in just nine days.

Then came the news that Antarctica's colossal Thwaites Glacier is melting fast. If the glacier were to collapse, It could lead to an increase in sea levels by around 64 cm.

In mere two days, the Milne ice shelf lost over 40% of its ice over in July. This results the endangerment for the animals which were living there.

Scientists are saying that this will not stop until we reduce our carbon footprints and our greenhouse gases.

We are the future - And we have to change it.

Will be back with many other posts that are related to environment. Share and save our precious planet.
