Greatest Threat to this Continent
Without a doubt, Antarctica is suffering greatly from climate change. As the planet warms at an alarming rate, glaciers, icebergs, century-old snowfalls are melting and causing significant sea level rise around the world. In addition, diseases from hundreds of years ago that were once trapped deep in icebergs are being exposed to the local wildlife.
How You Can Help
We’ll say it again - lower or offset your carbon footprint. Go one step further and encourage your family and friends to do the same and ultimately, vote for politicians who are paying attention to the effects of climate change and are taking steps to lower our country’s carbon footprint. Until we can slow, stop, and reverse the causes of climate change, everything we do will be a temporary fix to a much larger problem. We can individually make changes all day but the bulk of the problem comes from large-scale companies who are legally allowed to pollute our air at an absurd rate so be mindful of the companies you support with your purchases.
