Arctic Ice is melting Faster now

Wondering why recently the weather so hot or sometime raining heavily. It is actually because of global warming. Basically our earth's temperature is increasing now. Temperature that high causes the ice in Arctic to melt faster which cause our sea level to raise.

A few years ago, scientists were predicting ice-free Arctic summers by about 2080. Then computer models started projecting earlier dates, around 2030 to 2050.

Then came the 2007 summer that saw Arctic sea ice shrink to the smallest extent ever recorded, down to 4.2 million sq km from 7.8 million sq km in 1980.

By the end of last year, one research group was forecasting ice-free summers by 2013.

"I think we're going to beat last year's record melt, though I'd love to be wrong," said Dr Stroeve.

"If we do, then I don't think 2013 is far off anymore. If what we think is going to happen does happen, then it'll be within a decade anyway."

There is nothing much we can do to stop global warming because warming/temperature high that melt ice has been going for decades. What we can do now is reduce it or can I say slow down the global warming. There are few things we can do to reduce.

1. Save electricity by switching off light,fan,computer,tv,dvd player and other electric appliances when not in use.
2. Tell your family and friends about Global Warming. Make them aware about the current environment issue. The more people take step to reduce it, the slower the rate of global warming.
3. For more step , you can read it at here .

You can make a difference in environment today. Everyone play a role.
Save environment, save the earth.
