Environmental scanning and Industry Analysis The average temperature of the Arctic has risen at twice the rate of the rest of the planet. According to Impacts of a Warming Arctic: Arctic Climate Impact Assessment, a 2004 report by the eight-nation Arctic Council, the melting of the area’s highly reflective snow and sea ice is uncovering darker land and ocean surfaces, further increasing the absorption of the sun’s heat. Reductions in Arctic sea ice will drastically shrink marine habitats for polar bears, ice

Geology Current Event There have been reports of Acidification in the Arctic Ocean that seems to rapidly increase the melting of sea ice. This process may bring in some important consequences for the health of the Artic Ecosystem. The question is what is Acidification and how dangerous can it be. Acidification is the process by which pH levels of seawater decrease due to the great amounts of carbon dioxide being absorbed by the oceans from the atmosphere. Currently the oceans absorb about ¼ of

the U.S. coastal habitats, to predictions of a continued increase in carbon emissions in rising CO2 into the atmosphere. I think this is an important issue in today’s world. Do we have too many cars running around producing carbon monoxide? The Arctic ice melting is raising the sea level that can hurt coastal animals in habitats. How can we help to stop this? If everyone pitches in and does their part and so on, there is nothing we all couldn’t do together to help our world for our future generations
