Arctica intra intr-o noua faza: Continentul este mai cald, mai verde si are mai putina gheata
Arctica intra intr-o noua perioada climatica, in care apa si aerul se incalzesc, gheata polara este mai putina, iar chimia oceanului se schimba. Aceasta este concluzia raportului unei echipe internationale de cercetatori, care monitorizeaza schimbarile rapide prin care trece Pamantul. Schimbarile cauzeaza modificari si in randul vietuitoarelor, atat la nivelul solului cat si la cel al apei, cu un habitat redus pentru ursii polari si morse. Pe de alta parte, balenele se bucura de o zona extinsa din care isi pot procura hrana.

Specialiştii se tem că aceşti oameni vor fi tentaţi să se mute în zone cu temperaturi mai scăzute, unde să cultive alte specii de plante.
