Ice free North Pole

Scientists reveal a disturbing and worrying example of the impact of global warming and climate change on the planet. For the first time in human history, ice is going to disappear from the North Pole this year making it possible to sail through open waters right up to the North Pole. It seems unimaginable but its true. Satellite data collected during recent times shows that global warming and climate change has melted the thick ice formed over many years at the North Pole and scientists believe that this summer there’s a good chance that it will all melt away. Its not only the scientists but also the native population like the Inuit living near Baffin Bay between Canada and Greenland who have noticed that the sea ice is starting to break up much earlier than normal.

If it happens, it will no doubt increase the prospect of the Arctic nations to exploit the valuable oil and mineral resources which until now were impossible to extract because of the thick sea ice but from an environmental point of view it will be catastrophic. It will not only lead to rise in sea level but will also decimate the unique flora and fauna of the Arctic region, which has evolved to survive in the harsh environment.
