Over the last year or so, scientists have realized that more of the Antarctic glaciers are melting more thanpreviously thought, and a few big chunks of ice have actually floated away or become less […]

I find it interesting that the rate of thickness change is predominately worse in West Antarctica. Is there a reason for this?

Not just for us but for sea life and animals living in those areas. 15055940

In my opinion global warming is the main reason for this problem. Why have we not noticed this earlier? As the melting of the glaciers increases so does the tempo of the melting so in other words the melting process speeds up. This is a big concern and solutions have to be found.

We all know what effect rising sea levels has on the environment and yet little is being done to stop this.

The problems might not seem that alarming now, but am I correct in saying that there will be severe problems in the future?

I would just like to know what systems and measures are in play that are aiding this problem, and why has it taken so long for this to be notcied and addressed?

Has Global warming and the ice shelves melting not been occuring for quite a while and due to human interaction accelerating at speeds that i think if not changed soon will be to severe to handle.

Please can people get back to me on my questions and shed some more light on this serious topic.

This just highlights the extent to which global warming is affecting the Earth. It saddens me too see the severity of of the effects human life has on this planet. U.S. As humans need to do something to better the situations at hand or the Earths future is bound to be a dull one.

The map for one is a clear indication that global warming cannot be ignored. This planet’s temperatures are rising and we cannot ignore it just because people doesn’t see the effect it has on the bigger picture but they choose to rather live in their own small world.
