into helping global climate change because rising sea levels are dangering the land‚ there is a major decrease in arctic ice‚ and rising temperatures are causing more animal species to go on the endangered list. Some may argue that ice and glaciers have been growing and receding for hundreds of years‚ but they will always grow back again.

Arctic Sea Melting Enhancing the Effect of Global Warming in High Latitudes The world warmed by about 0.7°C in the 20th century. Every year in this century has been warmer than all but one in the last century (1998). If carbon-dioxide levels were magically to stabilize where they are now (almost 390 parts per million‚ 40% more than before the industrial revolution) the world would probably warm by a further half a degree or so as the ocean‚ which is slow to change its temperature‚ caught up.

Arctic National Wildlife Refuge‚ or ANWR‚ is a refuge geared toward preserving national wildlife in northeastern Alaska. ANWR is about 19 million acres‚ in space‚ and contains a potential drilling spot for oil and petroleum. The potential drilling spot is a small area known as the 10-02 Area. It is only 1.5 million acres‚ or 8%‚ of ANWR‚ would even be considered for development (What is ANWR). The controversy surrounding ANWR is whether to drill or not to drill into the 10-02 area.
