This melting ice cube is not the only thing that is melting. The ice caps are also quickly turning into water which is caused by global warming. The melting of once-permanent ice is already affecting native people, wildlife and plants.
The contraction of the ice caps is also accelerating global warming. Snow and ice usually form a protective, cooling layer over the Arctic. Now that this covering is melting, the earth absorbs more sunlight and increases the rate of warming.
There is a lot you can do to stop global warming. When we burn fossil fuels -- oil, coal and gas -- to generate electricity and power our vehicles, we produce the heat-trapping gases that cause global warming. The more we burn, the faster churns the engine of global climate change. So the most important thing we can do is save energy.
