Flying over the North pole on my way back to the states from France made this whole global warming thing hard to understand. As I flew over Greenland, I saw that there was plenty of ice to share: with so much ice, how can there be a crisis? It did not make sense.
Well after doing some digging on how much ice has actually melted in recent years, I was astonished. In this past year alone, 333,000 square miles have melted in the Arctic: and as for the Greenland ice sheet? 100,000 square miles have melted.
Global warming is very real, and we should all be very concerned. I guess that there is always more than meets the eye...
