Arctic ice shrinks to all-time low; half 1980 size

Darien wilson

According to this the arctic ice has shrunk at an all time high. "The ice cap at the North Pole measured 1.32 million square miles on Sunday. That's 18 percent smaller than the previous record of 1.61 million square miles set in 2007, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colo. Records go back to 1979 based on satellite tracking." Now you may ask what is causing. obviously global warming. What can we do to stop it from melting? Well first we need to think about the actual habitat and global warming is not only just melting the ice but also is melting away homes for animals. Society nedds to learn how to start riding bicycles or walking and also taking the train or riding the bus because cars are one of the major factors on global warming. The other facter is factories. Of course we can't stop all factories from manufactoring their goods and what not but car pulling or using transportation the causes less pollution.
