In this hot summer, everyone is enjoying cool air conditioning and cold drinks, thinking about happy things, but just when we are laughing and living, on the other side of the world, there is some not very optimistic news, Antarctica, a mysterious and beautiful place, it has recently been discovered that the glaciers there are melting at an alarming rate, the situation is so grim that people's hearts are tight, although Antarctica is far away from us, its changes directly affect everyone's life, and the threat of rising sea levels is quietly approaching our home

When we talk about Antarctica, we often think of snow-capped glaciers, and those cute penguins, Antarctic glaciers are experiencing an unprecedented "disease", scientists have confirmed that global warming is accelerating the melting of Antarctic glaciers, which is to put it bluntly, our earth has a fever, the temperature is rising, the glacier is like a child with a severe cold, uncomfortable, unable to resist, began to become thinner and thinner, every year, the amount of ice and snow melted by Antarctica is increasing, the number is huge, faintly conveying a sense of crisis to us
As the glaciers melt, Antarctica is like a tearful giant, it was once home to thousands of penguins, but now it is being eroded by more and more seawater, and many animals have to migrate to find new habitats, you may think that this is far from our lives, but the changes in Antarctica are quietly affecting each and every one of us, the threat of rising sea levels has approached our cities, and many coastal areas are beginning to feel the pressure

Imagine if the sea level rose by one metre, many cities would become "underwater relics", and your beloved beach would no longer be a paradise of sun and sand, but a body of water, for example, in big cities like Hong Kong, Shanghai, and even New York, which would be at great risk, and even climate refugees could emerge, and people could be forced to leave their homes and find a new life because of rising sea levels
We are not powerless bystanders, everyone can contribute to the mitigation of climate change, starting from daily life, we can gradually reverse this situation, such as saving electricity, insisting on garbage classification, choosing green travel, no longer using single-use plastics, and even raising a few more potted plants at home, all of which are contributing to the protection of the environment

Friends, the choice of the future is in our hands, we are not only working hard for ourselves, but also for our future generations, leaving a fresh and beautiful home, I believe that as long as we work together, everyone participates, and protect our earth, the news of Antarctica may also be better
