What is the common thread between<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>all of<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>these tragedies? The vanishing Arctic sea ice, our planetary life support.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>This<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>ice<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>is critical for our survival.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Its bright whiteness reflects the sun\u2019s heat back into space. Without the ice, that same heat gets absorbed<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>into the lands<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and oceans,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>further<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>warming the Earth<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and melting the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>remaining<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>ice<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>even<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>faster.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>95% of the oldest and thickest sea ice is<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>now<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>gone. As a result, the land ice is also dwindling.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>The 100 square km<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Spalte<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Glacier has just<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>broken away from the Arctic’s largest remaining ice shelf,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the Greenland Ice Sheet.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>According to NASA,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>this ice<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>sheet alone holds enough water to raise sea levels by 24 feet (7.4 meters).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Not surprisingly, the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Ecological Threat Register has recently projected that as many as 1.2 billion people worldwide could be displaced by 2050.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>No country will be able to escape the effects of the loss of ice. But<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the worst impacts<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>will<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>fall upon the world\u2019s poorest and most vulnerable populations\u2014those who did the least to cause the problem in the first place.<\/span>\u00a0<\/u><\/u><\/p>
