For most people who live in temperate regions of the
world and particularly those who live in urban areas, global warming is
very much a theoretical concept. In the Arctic things are very different.
The changing climate has already made its presence felt on both the people
and wildlife of the region. A study carried out by NASA predicts that the
Arctic Ocean will have no summer ice by the year 2100. Without the ice
to reflect the sun's rays, the Arctic Ocean will become warmer. If NASA's
prediction is correct, Polar Bears will become one of the first northern
casualties of Global Warming. This article explorers the impact across
the Arctic today.
