We have reason to be afraid of melting ice caps.

Melting ice caps, rising sea levels and extreme weather patterns aren't the only potential consequences of climate change.

In Nepal, global warming is leading to the melting of ice caps, increasing water levels, which, in turn, is threatening the ecologies of entire communities.

Mars, like Earth, has polar ice caps.

The melting of arctic ice is one example.

We now know them today from the ice caps.

The ice is going to carry on melting away.

She says that the snow and ice have been melting.

And my urging is that when we think about environmental issues that we remember that it's not just about melting glaciers and ice caps, but it's also about our children as well.

These higher temperatures could cause the extinction of numerous plants and animals, melting of polar ice caps, and a greater frequency of extreme weather events, such as severe storms, floods, and droughts.

They became marine. We now know them today from the ice caps.

The ice will carry on melting until it has ceased to exist.

It was formed by glacial melting at the end of the Ice Age.

Just as the cooling of water, which leads to ice, is termed freezing, the warming of ice leads to melting.

Second, ice caps and polar regions freeze up to 70 of the planet's fresh water.

So, there goes the ice caps, and there comes 240 feet of sea level rise.

Campaigners for carbon emission reductions regularly highlight the melting snow and ice of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Today, a far greater Arctic tragedy is unfolding the Arctic sea ice cap is melting.

And all the way along the glacier we saw these big pools of melting ice.

In addition to the sea ice loss, satellite data show that Greenland s three kilometer thick continental ice sheet is also melting at a record rate.

I guess the iconic figure of it is the melting of the ice in the Arctic Sea.

I'm melting! Melting!

Well, it's been calculated a few degrees' rise in the earth's temperature would melt the polar ice caps.

If the Arctic Ocean becomes ice free in summer, the melting and the snowfall will probably increase sharply.

But few saw, for instance, the Artic ice cap melting as rapidly as now seems to be the case.

The melting of Antarctic ice, for example, could raise the sea level, wiping out islands and flooding coastal areas.

But one area which is particularly intriguing for us is the northern region, you know, of Mars, close to the North Pole, because we see ice caps, and we see the ice caps shrinking and expanding, so it's very much like you have in northern Canada.

Warm and humid air will increase melting of ice in low regions at the edges of the ice sheets while boosting snowfall over cold high regions in the interior.

When United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki moon recently visited Antarctica, he was impressed by the melting ice he saw there.

If you want to know how sea level rises from land base ice melting this is where it reaches the sea.

The Russians, who started this, are building floating reactors, for their new passage, where the ice is melting, north of Russia.

This rise was clearly connected with the melting of the continental ice sheets at the end of the last ice age that is, it had nothing to do with human activities.

(Another reason stems from recent reports concerning the rapid melting of the polar ice cap, which seem to reconfirm worries about global warming.)

Snow accumulation on the upper surface and melting from the lower surface are also important to the mass balance of an ice shelf.

A study in October 2004 suggested that because the ice in the Amundsen Sea had been melting rapidly and became riveted with cracks, the offshore ice shelf was set to collapse within five years .
