Hello everyone! Today I report some news about arctic ! Enjoy the reading :)
The actress Emma Thompson went to the Arctic with Greenpeace.
Mission: Save the Arctic.
Thompson, known for her roles in Howards End, The Remains of the Day and Harry Potter, joined Greenpeace crew in August aboard the activist ship Esperanza. The trip reignited Thompson's decades-long interest in climate and conservation.
Thompson told that she had been shocked by what she'd seen.
"Our economic systems at the moment are very short sighted, they don't take any notice really of what's going to happen in future generations," she said.
Thompson said seeing the evidence of disappearing sea ice was devastating.
Speaking for the Save Arctic campaign, Thompson challenged governments to stop drilling and industrial fishing in the Arctic.
"If we destroy [the Arctic], we are going to end up with a planet that is no longer liveable on, and we will have nothing, we won't have any economies to sustain."
Arctic sea ice keeps the polar regions cool and helps moderate the global climate. The Arctic sea ice reflects around 80% of sunlight that strikes it back to space, keeping the planet cool. If the ice melts, most of the sunlight gets absorbed in the ocean and temperatures rise!
And you? what do you think? We have to be very careful and make the world better, Right? :)
