Global warming is causing polar ice caps to melt faster than expected; in the UK, half of them will disappear in 13 years.

  • 2007-04-14

The problem of global warming is becoming increasingly serious. British scientists, using sonar to detect ice sheets near the Arctic Circle, unexpectedly discovered that the polar ice is melting much faster than generally expected. Experts warn that perhaps in another 13 years, people will no longer be able to see the beautiful polar ice.

The polar ice caps floating on the Arctic Ocean have always attracted tourists from all over the world. However, according to a recent study, due to severe global warming, the polar ice is melting faster than expected, and it may soon disappear from view.

Oceanographer Peter Waldham: "I believe the disappearance of polar ice is the beginning of catastrophic changes."

British scientists dispatched a British submarine to use sonar to probe the Arctic Circle near Alaska, overturning previous predictions that polar ice would disappear by 2040 and shortening the timeframe to within 13 years. They predicted that 50 percent of the polar ice is likely to have disappeared by 2020.

Oceanographer Peter Waldham: "We can see vast expanses of polar ice from outer space now, but soon we will no longer be able to see them."

Scientists worry that once the polar ice melts, it will not only affect polar bears or Arctic seals, but may also trigger a series of unpredictable climate changes.
