The issue of global warming has garnered worldwide attention, and its impacts are becoming increasingly severe. Scientists have recently discovered that the Arctic ice cap is shrinking rapidly, reaching its smallest extent in recorded history.
Large expanses of ice in the Arctic Ocean are almost invisible, with the sea surface covered in broken ice. Through tracking and observation, scientists have found that the Arctic ice has shrunk to its smallest size in history. Previously, it was roughly the size of the United States, but now it has reduced to the size of the western United States.
Since the Arctic ice cap reflects sunlight, helping to keep the Earth moderately cool, its gradual melting is exacerbating global warming. The number of polar bears dying from starvation is increasing. Scientists warn that in five years, there may be no ice left in the Arctic during the summer.
