Ice Growing during Global Warming?

Contrary to popular belief, Antarctic Ice seemed to be growing nevertheless the increasing warming of weather due to Global Warming. As weird as it may sound, Arctic ice has declined and Antarctic ice has increased. How does this happen over the last 30 years? Studies and analyses show that the warming of the ocean developed precipitation chances in the upper area of the Antarctic region in the 20th Century. However the rain, apparently fell as snow. Although the layers of the ocean became less salty and less dense due to the snow. This theory is now completely different for the 21st Century, which brings us back to what we were brought up to think and learn from the beginning, the fact that Global Warming is melting ice. The rain is also a leading factor to the decrease of the snow/ice, as it helps melt it. And as we all know, this will have a tremendous effect on the species and animals that rely on their habitat with these surroundings, in order to survive. A new thing is that the loss of ice will contribute to the change of the water travel amongst Earth. In addition, Kevin Trenberth, a senior scientist at Boulder, Colorado-bases National Center for Atmospheric Research, noted that the ozone hole has been a reason "why Antarctica has not warmed the same way as other parts of the world."

One of the main news and frightening future experiences, Global Warming has had an effect on the human population, nevertheless science. Currently, the Earth is believed to be undergoing one of its most biggest controversies and natural occurrences. With all the media, stories, and such, science has been the uttermost major role in bringing the situation to where it stands today. It gives us an understanding of major questions and lets us comprehend furthermore on the biological or scientifical reasons as to why and how this is happening.

The fact that we all live in the same world, the fact that we have been taught to realize that this is happening to our homeland. Whether it be we live in different parts, or don't look the same. As humans, events like this do scare us to a certain extent. And because we are so brought up to this idea of the world coming to an end, of the crazy natural disasters predicted to happen, this article has been published in order to inform us, or those who come across it, the latest news in this situation.
