Northern Canada ponds which are usually full of water this time of year are being destroyed by global warming as they are being all dried up

Toronto - Northern Canada ponds which are usually full of water this time of year are being destroyed by global warming as they are being all dried up.

These ponds used to support life in the Arctic for thousands of years, now all that is left are holes with dirt.

The shallow ponds in Ellesmere Island are drying up due to greenhouse gases and global warming which comes from them.

John Smol, who wrote the report with Marianne Douglas, stated that “What happens in the Arctic will affect us all, and not in good ways.”

The report is being published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Smol visited 40 ponds since 1983 and fossil records show the ponds were stable until 100 years ago when industrial pollution began the warming process.
