Cryoconite Holes Are Polluting The Earth's Icebergs

Billions of Cryoconite holes are polluting the Earth’s icebergs. Cryoconite is made from a combination of desert dust, mixed with flakes of carbon, soot from wildfires, diesel exhaust, and coal-fired power plants. Cryoconite is a thick leaching black substance that absorbs the sun’s heat and speeds the melting process. Cryoconite is a toxic product of human industrialization. It is a bewildering concept to try to understand that humans have the capability of changing the basic chemistry of this massive planet. However, climate change is a concept that must be acknowledged; scientific evidence has revealed the consequences of rising sea levels, deforestation, and pollution. Climate change is not a matter of politics. Climate change is a matter of science. Icebergs three-times larger than the island of Manhattan are crumbling into tiny blocks of ice and floating away into the ocean. Glaciers that once stood as incredible monuments of ancient times are falling into the earth and dying. The melting icebergs are causing a rise in sea levels that threaten to wash away our population. This is a result of the excessive amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases we emit into the atmosphere. We are causing the Earth to warm at an alarming rate. Burning fossil fuels demolishes the ecosystem needed to
The atmosphere is choking from excessive amounts of carbon dioxide. Greenhouse gases are melting polar icecaps and rising sea levels. Deforestation is diminishing our chances of ever discovering new species in forests and destroying the carbon cycle. Humans do in fact have the capability of changing the basic chemistry of this massive planet. Scientific evidence shows that we have already contributed to irreversible climate change. Humankind has an obligation to reconcile its difference with the environment and learn to conserve natural resources. Conservation begins with knowledge, which leads to action, which will save our
