Global Warming Effects on Antarctica

It is extremely sad that we humans caused this much harm in under three months.

Antarctica is home to many species of animals. Today I will focus on some of the species of penguins and their ecosystem in Antarctica.

As many people know, some of the ice shelves in Antarctica have been crumbling. Some faster than others. Here are some photos of the Larsen B Ice Shelf, which has fallen apart extremely fast. As you can see from the dates, this ice shelf was decimated in thirty five days.

But who is the culprit? None other than global warming. The scary thing about this is that we are to blame for global warming. All these greenhouse gas emissions are heating up our world, which is destroying much of the ecosystem for many animals, especially penguins, who can only live on the coast of Antarctica or the Arctic. Their only source of food is from the sea, and with global warming destroying their population, penguins, polar bears and other animals may go extinct.
