Ice plays an important role in our environment in form of glaciers, ice caps on mountains, sea ice and snow.Snow reflects the suns heat and thus helps cool the earth.
Snow free earth absorbs heat.As ice disappears, earth retains more of the suns heat.The earth warms up thus causing more melting of ice.A viscious cycle is born..and adds to global warming.
Our planet is getting hotter.This is evident in the Arctic where the average temperature has risen twice as compared to rest of the world in the past few decades.
Depletion of sea ice causes devastation to the flora and fauna adapted to the Arctic temperatures and in addition to the people dependent on them.The Arctic has become the final dumping ground for wastes from the industrial world brought by the sea and currents.Melting ice will have a global impact too.A rise in temperature is leading to decreasing snow in the Himalayas,this will in turn affect the freshwater systems via revers thus affecting plants ,animals and humans dependant on this water.
Melting sea ice will cause the sea level to rise, posing a danger to people living in low lying areas and coastal areas, focing them to move out and further disturb the atmosphere.
This issue demands immediate attention of the public and policy makers.Environmental protection is the need of the hour.
Make a small but significant step...SAY NO TO PLASTIC
