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
