Both the article and the text in the blog are about global warming and that the big ice sheets are melting. They don't say exactly the same thing but both want to stop the ice sheets from melting.

So do I. I think what we are doing to our enivronment is terible. People who don't care really should start caring because it's a big issue. Tons and tons of ice is melting every year and soon we will have no ice left. Think of all the animals that live there, whose lives depends on the ice. If the ice disapperes, so will they and the animals are very important; without the animals our ecosystems will collapse and then we're in for real truble.

So we should really start paying more attention to what actually is happening now - the ice is melting and the animals are dying - and not what might happen in the future. Save the ice to help save the animals and us!

Some things you can do is:

* Don't have the maximum temperature in your house, lower it and put on an extra sweater instead.

* Walk, bike or use public transportat (such as bus or train) instead of taking your car.

* Turn out the light when you're leaving the room.
