Question

Are the North Pole ice caps going to melt this summer?

Answer 1

You have quite an imagination, little girl. Would you believe it if I told you That Santa Clause & Jimmy Hoffa got Married and live on Mars?

Answer 2

First, the Arctic ice is not melting more than ever. The melt is well behind last year. Also, the whole north pole ice could melt and it would not increase sea level at all. The old ice cubes in a glass of water trick. The worst case scenario is that it would freeze up again and close the shipping lanes. Grow up.

Answer 3

Well, some say it's a 50-50 chance of it melting this summer (08)

and I have been watching web cams on the north pole, so can you. They say the sea level will change ALOT, but my mother has a house on the bay of pensacola, Florida and she is not seen a drastic change like everyone is talking about.

The north pole has been melting for years and years.... I might be wrong but I think there is not a thing to freek out about. we have been melting since the ice age, the earth is just doing it's thing...

google WEBCAMS on the north pole and see for your self or look at the link I'm watching.

Answer 4

No, but I HAVE heard that the northern polar ice cap in the Arctic Ocean might melt completely by the summer of 2015.

But that's only what I've heard...we'll find out soon enough, won't we?

Answer 5

No i don't think the ice caps are going to completely melt away this summer.

Yes. They will melt away some more but not completely.

And sorry i don't know the name of it

Answer 6

Answer 7

Most likely, so what. Enjoy each day Let others panic each day.

Answer 8

No, they will probably melt in 10-15 years but depending on how bad global warming gets it might be sooner, but not that soon.

So, you can relax for a while! : )

Answer 9

hopefully they do, i love that polar springs water.

Answer 10

No. Even if we stood at the pace of global warming it would still take a long time before they would actually melt.

Answer 11

In science class, they told us that the average global temperature as risen one degree since 1900. The climate waxes and wains naturally. Global warming isn't as bad as the media makes it out to be. Another factor beyond our control is the aging of the sun. It is important to plant trees to replenish the oxygen in the atmosphere.

The ice caps are getting less very gradually, but they aren't going away anytime soon.

Answer 12

well i was just watching the history chanel and they said that in 100 more years the north and south pole will melt.

Answer 13
