The Arctic may never again be the same
When ice breaks away like this, it floats away and melts, flooding surrounding areas with water. This flooding drowns islands, limits access and destroys eco systems once separated from the oceans with thick layers of ice.
Rising sea levels, destroyed natural habitats, displaced people. If the melting continues to worsen, the consequences are endless.
The full story is in the Globe and Mail.
The arctic has never been the same and will always be in a flux of change....just as the rest of the planet has been and is now and will always be. Just 10,000 years ago most of what is now Canada was under ice! That is a blink in the life of a planet. When will activists (guided by emotion and false facts) realize that the planet is just changing and we are not wrecking it?
Save the Arctic! =)
