the problem for the arctic is mild in the arctic and it should be heavily industrialized countries in the world and without putting a lot in perspective we want a comprehensive understanding of the future of. the arctic ice has been rapidly melting now for 2 decades the process has even affected glaciers in greenland that are 100000 years old. scientists estimate that 10000 tons of arctic ice are lost every 2nd due to global warming but some say that this may turn out to be a positive development. summers are. getting longer they're led to change and. i believe. you know there are a lot of all in need things. that have become so all. i guess it's their problem. and i believe this proposition. as the arctic ice continues to melt the indigenous people stand to benefit from the exploitation of the region's natural resources and the creation of new trade routes . increased prosperity may help them to preserve their natural way of life but as all of our good him some points out the future of the arctic has become an international issue. we are now pushing for the 1st time in human history
