Wilkins Ice Shelf

In P. Spotts's (2008) article, "Antarctica's Wilkins Ice Shelf Eroding at an Unforeseen Pace," he explains about how glaciers are dissolved by themselves. First, the U.S, Britain, and Taiwan researchers say ice is lost by itself. They say this erosion cannot hurt sea levels. A glaciologist says the mainland has started to warm up because of Wilkins ice. Actually Wilkins ice speed is more quick than research say. Second, the greatest concern of the region is West Antarctica. The West Antarctica ice sheet still has not changed. East Antarctica had no mass ice between 1992 and 2006. Scientists say all of the factors are because of warmer air and sea temperatures. Third, Dr. Vaughan says the Wilkins Ice Shelf is different from the other. He said, "It's kind of a come-and-go ice shelf." He said Wilkins was according to the season. Finally, Dr. Vaughan says scientists should be able to improve the machine to predict sea climate and conditions.

The global warming is big problem for now. Many people are warning of global warming, because global warming has made ice dissolve. Why is ice dissolving very quickly day by day? There are three reasons of Wilkins ice shelf.

First, Wilkins Ice Shelf is because of cars' wasted gas. Now people are using cars everyday. If we have no car, we cannot go anywhere in a small town, but those exhaust waste gas. In cars' waste gas there is CO2. Too much CO2 in the sky causes he green house effect. It makes global warm.

Second, electric products they can cause it's destruction. For example, in your house there is an air conditioner. When the air conditioner turns on, the air conditioner's fan puts hot air out. The hot air collects outside. In the sky, there will be hotter and hotter. The hot air will make air warm. Also, hair driers and a refrigerators make the air warm.

Third, factory contaminants destroy the Wilkins ice shelf. In all of the world there are many factories. The factory makes our needs in our life. But the factory contaminant makes environmental pollution, because the contaminants flow into the ocean. They did not manage the contaminants. They just put them into the ocean. It pollutes the ocean very seriously.

In conclusion, many reasons cause global warming. The car wastes gas, factories contaminate, and electric products pollute the environment. It makes global warming. The global warming is very serious. We should find solutions to solve these problems.
