NEW JERSEY CLIMATE MARCH (April 13-16) TO ADDRESS
LATEST ANTARCTICA ICE MELTING (MaximsNews.com, U.N.)
|
|

"Last
fall scientists studying the huge Greenland ice sheet reported that the
rate of ice melt had tripled in five years," said Ted Glick,
co-coordinator of the New Jersey
Climate March.
Now,
a just concluded University of Texas conference of U.S. and European
polar ice experts has reported that the 'Amundsen Sea Embayment' in
Antarctica is thinning due to 'warmer waters (flowing) beneath ice
shelves.'

A
complete meltdown would raise sea levels close to 20 feet worldwide he
stated.
"The
scientific evidence is clear and overwhelming: we must take urgent action to
reverse course or face truly catastrophic impacts in coming years and
decades, sooner rather than later," continued Glick.
