Greenland glaciers under threat ...

The heat wave and tropical nights in Norway are the result of the high pressure. We could observe it some time ago  record temperatures in the countries of Southern and Central Europe. Unfortunately, this situation may continue to deteriorate - above all, there is a high risk that the Greenland ice cap, the second largest ice cap in the world, will melt. This will increase the level of water rise in the seas - up to approximately 6 meters. Residents of many coastal areas, including large cities, will certainly suffer from this.

Tropical nights in Norway - animals are looking for water.

What can we do?

Take care of the well-being of our planet. Think about the good of yourself, your loved ones and all of nature. When leaving the house, protect your body from the sun, especially your head. Drink plenty of water and, if possible, provide it to animals - they also need it very much in this difficult situation. Limit your use of plastic. Climate change is getting worse bigger - there may be a shortage of water soon. We mentioned it in the text: Norway: drinking water reserves only for a few hours!. It is worth saving water and sensitizing others to the problems associated with global warming and water, which may not be available in some time.
