America revealed images of ice melting in the Arctic
The US Geological Survey (USGS) recently revealed images that reflect global climate change that have a detrimental impact on the Arctic region.
According to the Guardian website of the UK, the US Geological Survey (USGS) recently revealed images that reflect global climate change affecting the Arctic region.
These images, taken 10 years ago from US military reconnaissance satellites reflect the truth about ice on large areas in rapidly disappearing latitudes. This is really a warning bell about global climate change.

During the presidency of President Bush, the White House removed part of the report regarding global climate change, and limited publicity to address this issue, even concealing evidence. just about climate change. When President Bush was in office, these images were classified as classified documents.
Until last week, the White House revealed these images. Currently, President Obama is looking forward to awakening the US Congress and the entire American people to take practical action to prevent CO2 emissions leading to dangerous climate change.

Newly published photos reflect the global climate change that is changing the entire Arctic region. The sea ice lost in the summer of 2007 more than 1 million km 2 in 2006, the global climate change is changing the climate and the environment of the Arctic.
Thorsen Marcus - Goddard aeronautical center of the US Aerospace Department said: " The image taken with a 1: 100 scale, can clearly see the Arctic summer images, making us feel it's scary . " Moreover, there is no sign of recovery of sea ice sheets after disappearing .

Scientists warn, the loss of sea ice in the summer will create enormous dangers. Animals such as polar bears take advantage of ice as a place to catch prey and marine life, otherwise they will be at risk of starvation. In addition, the ice still reflects the sun's radiation. If these functions are lost, the Arctic sea will warm up. Scientists also said that due to lack of capital, it is impossible to collect the effects of climate change.
The Obama administration has begun applying measures to cope with global warming. In the president's economic recovery plan, there was $ 170 million for climate research. The Bureau of Climate and Marine Affairs is also looking for an additional $ 290 million in addition to the 2010 estimate for upgrading environmental satellites, allowing researchers and government officials to collect more accurate data. .
