What
happens next?
What
happens next is not good news for people or penguins.
The thing that bothers me is that the ice of the poles is melting. Some
of it already is melting fast. The Arctic sea ice and the great frozen continent of Antarctica
(my home) is losing ice too. Other seas, like the North Sea, are warming
too. This means that fish which need colder waters have to swim north
and this can have bad effects of both fishing and seabirds.
As you know, penguins like ice. Without very cold water and ice, we get
too hot because, like polar
bears, we're built for cold weather. But for you people, it will be
much worse.
For a start, all the ice that melts will start to fill up the oceans and
make them overflow on land. And the water itself will take up more space
simply because it is warmer. That will
make it overflow even more onto the land.
