A Futuristic View of How Global Warming Destroyed the Arctic & Antarctic
<p>Itis the 23rd century, and in the frigid heart of the Arctic, where the relentless march of time had preserved ice for millennia, a chilling transformation had been underway for over two centuries.</p>
<p>The glaciers, part of the earth’s ancient secrets, were melting. And, more than 10,000-thousand-year-old ice mountains were vanishing, leaving behind a world in the wake of its own destruction.</p>
<p>Polar bears, the monarchs of the frozen tundra were suffering. Their hunting grounds, the sea ice, was receding faster than ever before. Desperation etched across their gaunt faces as they roamed tirelessly in search of food.</p>
<p>And another atrocity was evident.</p>
<p>The once bountiful seal populations dwindled as the krill were also diminishing due to the changing climate. Rising sea temperatures disrupted their delicate life cycle, forcing them to migrate.</p>
<p>But the migration left whales, seabirds, and other marine creatures that depended on krill for sustenance struggling to survive.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, penguins the inhabitants of the distant Antarctic, faced their own battle. The melting ice spelled doom for them as well. They relied on it to raise their chicks safely away from predators.</p>
<p>As icebergs broke apart and drifted away, they took with them the fragile penguin nests, leaving the vulnerable chicks exposed to the elements and hungry predators.</p>
