Dr. Reese Halter: Global Warming and Human-Induced Changes at the North Pole

Global warming is occurring at least three but perhaps as fast at five times faster in the Arctic than anywhere else on the planet. Sea ice is disappearing at a record rate. A couple years ago the Arctic was forecasted to be ice-free in 2060. Today, it is predicted to be ice-free by 2020. Less ice translates into more toxins in the Arctic Ocean.

The sea surrounding Alaska's Aleutian Island's have been laid to waste by global warming.

One hundred and fifteen thousand sea otters are missing. And it only took four orcas or killer whales less than a decade to finish them off.

Whales and Fish Reduce Global Warming | Care2 Healthy & Green Living

Large marine species like whales, sharks and other large fish store a significant amount of carbon in their bodies. A blue whale weighing 90 tons, for example, can store 9 tons of carbon. That whale can live for decades, and keeps that carbon away from the atmosphere. Even once the whale dies and its body sinks to the bottom of the ocean, the carbon is still kept out of the atmosphere.

Tiny 'Flying Saucers' Could Save Earth From Global Warming - ScienceNOW

Using a trick of sunlight itself, tiny metallic disks could be levitated to the stratosphere where they would shade Earth's surface and counteract the effects of global warming, a new paper proposes.
