Many of the thousand photos taken last summer show with a high degree of resolution, how more than a million square kilometers of sea-ice have disappeared and are not showing any signs of recovery. Not only are melting ice-caps a tangible indicator of global warming, their demise spells bad news for endangered species of animals like polar bears who use them as shelves for hunting. Additionally ice caps have been good reflectors of the sun&#8217;s heat &#8211; their disappearance means that the earth will absorb more solar energy and potentially trigger a runaway heating cycle of catastrophic proportions. The Obama Administration, which revealed the photos, has used them to urge Congress to pass comprehensive legislation to curb green-house gas emissions. <\/p>\n<p><em>GUEST: Kieran Mulvaney, project leader of Greenpeace&#8217;s Arctic expedition<\/em><\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\">www.greenpeace.org<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| the entire program Satellite photos of melting Arctic Ice Caps, hidden by the Bush administration have just been released, confirming scientists&#8217; worst fears about the devastating impact of global warming.
