Ice warning

Hi Guys

How much do you know about Greenland? What happens in Greenland nowadays? And why is it interesting? Here, I will tell you. Let’s begin!   

As we know from the news or someone can feel that the weather today is warmer than that in the past, there should be something wrong with the weather, shouldn’t there? Yes! This is the era of global warming. And what does the global warming have an impact on? Just humans and animals? I could say ‘No’. We can also see the effect on non-living things, such as temperature, moisture, sea, and wind. Nonetheless, in this boiling era, we need to look for something which can tell us or at least help us to become aware of the problem we are now facing—global warming.

                Since most of the ice sheets on earth are in the north and south poles, which are far away from our homes on land, we may not see the impact of global warming quite clearly. However, the place that we have never thought of may be able to tell or warn us about the problem. In my opinion, the most interesting non-living thing on earth that I want to focus on this blog is ‘ice’. If we take the ice out of the refrigerator and put it in a room with normal temperature for a while, it becomes water absolutely. But if we put it in another room where it is hotter, the ice must melt quicker in the same amount of time.  In the same token, if we are confronting global warming, there must be a higher rate of ice-melting. Therefore, we can use the information about ice melting to see how the global temperature changes.
