Follow us to learn more about the melting ice caps and how you can help!

Glaciers start to lose ice not only at the waters edge but also from underneath. This is because glaciers always move towards the sea over a thin layer of water just above the underlying bedrock.

The polar ice caps have melted faster in last 20 years than in the last 10,000.

If no help has been done, ocean are predicted to more than a meter by 2100. This is why we should star to help prevent this. Look out for our other tweets to find what to fix!

Scientists are seeing signs of ice loss in the East Antarctic. Glaciers are starting to move more than quickly and dumpling their ice into the Southern Ocean.

NASA has estimated that the polar ice caps are melting 9% every ten years, which is an extremely bad rate.

Since all the ice is continuously melting, the habitats for animals and their food supply is also decreasing as well.

The polar bear population has decreased by 40%

[melting glaciers @MIcecaps]

Due to the ice caps melting, it leaves the polar bears hungrier and hungrier.

Glaciers are important because they act as a cover over the our Earth and oceans. This is why we need to protect them! ❄️

Scientists believe that if emissions continue to rise, the Arctic could be ice free in the summer as 2040 comes.

Today, about 10% of land on Earth is covered with glacial ice. Almost 90% of it is in Antarctica, and the remaining 10% is in the Greenland ice cap.

Did you know that glaciers around the world can range from several hundred years old to several thousand years old? It can provide a record of how climate has changed overtime.

[melting glaciers @MIcecaps]

A natural cause for the warming of our planet is the rise of the sea level. The warming of our planet starts to melt our glaciers overtime.

How else can you join us in preventing this? By saving electricity of course! Turn off your lights and television when you are not using them! 🔌📺#saveelectricity

[melting glaciers @MIcecaps]

2 trillion tons of ice has melted in Greenland, Antarctica and Alaska. This has severe consequences for our climate and ecosystem

So how can we help stop this problem? One way you can help prevent this is by using the three R’s. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. You can reduce garbage by using reusable products!🌱♻️

[melting glaciers @MIcecaps]

Some people believe that human activity, the burning of fossil fuels, and the buildup of greenhouse gases is what have caused the rapid warming of our Earth, to melt these glaciers. #brrrr #wow #meltingicecaps

[melting glaciers @MIcecaps]

Climate change is causing glaciers to melt and sea levels to rise! A way you can help is by cutting down a on the use of gas. 🚘

[melting glaciers @MIcecaps]

Did you know that since 1960 the Arctic ice caps have decreased by about 40 percent?
