ANTARTIC ICE SHELF BREAK-UP

LOOK AT THE VIDEO

This is latest crack in Antartic! Since few weeks ago, part of the ice shelf in this place have been disintegrating, and will soon crumble.

The same happened with six ice shelves in the same part of the continent that have already been lost.

Professor Vaughan had predicted in 1993 that the northern part of the Wilkins Ice Shelf would be lost in 30 years if climate warming continued. Unfortunately, we are realizing that it is happening more quickly than he expected. The climate warming have had an important impact in the region.

I think we have to reconsider what are we doing to avoid that climate warming continue, because it is affecting the environment and I think that government and us should take some steps.

For example:
to use efficient lights,
to increase the use of solar energy,
to decrease the gas of greenhouse emission.

And if we made them, certainly, we were helping to take care of our wonderful world.
