Topic Reading-Vol.464-7/19/2013

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Chilling Report: Earth Loses 300 Billion Tons of Ice Each Year.
Very most of the planet’s glacier ice lies on Greenland and Antarctica, in some part as thick as nearly 5 kilometers. And a new science study has revealed that that glacier ice seems to have melted faster in the last two decades than in the last 10,000 years.
Although some part of Antarctica has added more ice because of increased snow fall, the loss of such ice sheets has affected the environment, raising sea levels even faster than the prediction by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in 2007.
Enjoy reading and learning about the effects of global warming.
