Arctic ice cap shrinks to new record low

Researchers are blaming global warming for a record ice melt. Although many people still refuse that humans are completely responsible for the Earth getting warmer, it's difficult to stay away from the truth that global temperatures are without a doubt raising. Simply take a glance at the Arctic Ocean, in which researchers state ice levels is going to be at their lowest modern levels ever within a week or two. Before this year, the record smallest dimensions the Arctic ice cap was 4.25 million square kilometers. Although the present ice cap isn't quite at those levels the last approximate was 5.09 million square kilometers levels still drop sharply by around 100,000 square kilometers per day. Ice levels will constantly drop through the end of the melting season that may be around two weeks from now. Or even if the ice melt ceased instantly, the present level would still mark the third lowest on record. Unluckily, Arctic ice melt is a vicious cycle. According to National Snow and Ice Data Center Director Mark Serrez, "the ice now is so dilute in the spring, just
