1 Polar bears spent most of their time swimming in the sea and all the ice has melted. Over the three past decades the north and south pole have been getting smaller and now they are like six times California. As the ice bergs disappear scientists say that polar bears and other animals will drown. So imagin if all the animals in the south pole and north pole had to be all accumulated in just one piece of ice that is like six times California of big!!!!!!! At the actual south pole - nothing. Penguins, birds, seals, and whales live on the margins of Antarctica, but nothing lives in the interior (except for people who have built bases there). Polar bears do NOT (!) live at the south pole. They live in the Arctic, not the Antarctic. References: http://www.savebiogems.org/polar/ http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index? qid=20071202104112AAnP7Iw

2 Some solutions to not destroy the ozone cap so the poles don´t melt are: 1. 1.Change your light bulbs. Regular (“incandescent”) light bulbs waste a lot of energy producing heat, not light!“Compact fluorescent” bulbs use one-quarter to one-third the energy that regular bulbs do, to produce the same amount of light. Look around your house to see which light fixtures are used the most, and replace those bulbs with compact fluorescents. If every U.S. family did that, we could keep one trillion pounds of global warming air pollution out of the air. 2.Don´t go to places that are near your house because the smoke that goes out of it is called Co2 and it destroys the ozone cap and the sun goes through it and it melts the poles. 3.Don´t throw so many rubish to the floor because it has something that it makes the ozone cap to break.

3 The answer is, "It depends." If Earth’s surface gets warm enough to melt all the ice in Antarctica, it’s a big problem because it’s more than a mile thick. If you look at a globe, you can see that Antarctica is huge. If all of the Antarctic ice melted, sea levels around the world would rise about 200 feet. Two hundred feet might not seem like much, but think about this: some of the biggest cities in the world are right on the coast You can't melt just the north pole. Land locked ice will melt, causing sea levels to rise faster. The northern landscape will green earlier. But if the ice melts there would be a lot of water so the land would be higher than now.
