The Arctic melting proof of global warming

The rate of ice melting at the Arctic region has been on the rise, which could result in catastrophic events not only for the life that the Arctic supports in its environment but also the entire globe. This implies that this region should be protected because of the repercussions it could have on the overall globe. If the seas become warmer, they may endanger aquatic life, and possibly lead to extinction of certain species. Since melting ice increases the volume of water in the oceans, the ocean level rises leading to a higher possibility of mass deaths mostly caused by Tsunamis if earthquakes strike the coastal regions. This is because this region is responsible for regulating earth’s climate system. The ice that covers the Arctic region functions as a reflector where it reflects much of the sun’s heat back into space. This helps in cooling the planet and making it habitable and provides a sense of balance by driving atmospheric circulation. If the balance is affected by in increase in temperatures at the Arctic region, then there could be devastating results that include cyclones and typhoons, which are responsible for mass deaths. While the increasing temperature around the Arctic is threatening the existence of marine mammals and the condition of the ecosystem, melting of the ice around that region may affect the temperature of the globe.

Global warming is one of the emerging issues currently experienced in the world. The melting of the snow in the Arctic is among the effects of global warming and thus is used to prove the intensity of the earth’s warming process. The Yenisey and Lena rivers of Siberia demonstrate one of the deep effects of global warming, which is scientifically termed as heat expanding. This is because they ...

...UN, Canada, Greenland, Norway, and Russia. Because of that, these countries caused change the climate by burning fuels will allow more Arctic hydrocarbons to be extracted and burned. Finally, the value of keeps the Arctic safe is that Canada has gold, Alaska has zinc, Sweden has iron, and Russia has nickel.

The Arctic is the must important region, so the Arctic is has many sources. If these countries do not control the Arctic, they will be dangers. My suggesting is keeping the Arctic safe, and uses the resources in the right way.

This then leads to the conclusion that the Arctic should be protected from melting because the repercussions could be far reaching in that the entire globe would be affected. This region can be protected through reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere.
