...because of the global warming. This will have serious environmental as well as strategic consequences, they say.The scientists ... predict that massive melting process, nearly five times faster than previously, can take place within 20 years. If there are no efforts made to prevent the emission of greenhouse gases, the entire Arctic basin -- from Siberia and Greenland to Canada and Alaska -- could just be open water in summer unlike the sheets of ice they are now, they say...An ice-free Arctic will mean destruction of several indigenous people and their life and the extinction of species like the polar bear, who survive on the round-the-year ice in the region. The loss of ice cover will lead to severe climate changes as the North Atlantic current that brings winters to countries like Britain will cease. It may lead to faster deterioration of the ice sheet in Greenland.
We must act in defense of God's creation, of which we are merely temporary inhabitants.
What will I do for the planet TODAY? How about you?
