Research into the icecap of North Pole |
| [00:02.53] |
has found that it is melting so quickly |
| [00:04.46] |
than Arctic Ocean could lose most of ice |
| [00:06.86] |
during summer time in as little as ten years. |
| [00:09.86] |
Scientists of Cambridge University say recent expedition |
| [00:12.86] |
to the Arctic led by explorer Pen Hadow |
| [00:15.30] |
found ice was much thinner than expected and less dense, |
| [00:18.66] |
making vulnerable to rapid melting. |
| [00:20.80] |
Mr. Hadow said the finding should act as a wake-up call. |
| [00:24.11] |
The long-term view for the global community, |
| [00:27.27] |
this is definitely not good news. |
| [00:29.65] |
But if we can see this for what it is |
| [00:33.57] |
which is the biggest visual cue |
| [00:37.54] |
that we are going to get to |
| [00:39.68] |
manage our relationship with the planet better, |
| [00:42.38] |
then that is a good thing. |
