Dear reader,
I am an engineer trying to solve the global warming issues occurring near the Greenland Ice Cap. The Greenland Ice Cap is located on the coast of Greenland. The ice cap covers 665,000 square miles of the Northern Atlantic. Since 1992 the cap has been melting at almost 3 times the rate it was during the time of 1992. The weather conditions are quite extreme. The temperatures during the time of November through April remain below freezing. As June, July, and August come around the temperatures remain below 10 degrees Celsius or 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Living on the Greenland Ice Cap are animals such as polar bears and penguins. Some sounds you may happen to hear is the sounds of rushing water or the cracking of the ice melting or breaking off below. The Greenland ice cap is just one big, thick sheet of ice. The melting rate of this location shows that earths global warming problem is not getting much better.

The Everglades are very different from the Greenland Ice Cap. First of all, the Everglades are in south Florida so the temperature is much higher than the frigid temperatures of Greenland. Greenland is quickly melting and breaking apart, but the Everglades have no real problems. Both of our places have endangered species, yours being the polar bear and mine being crocodiles. Your post was very informative and well-written.
