Antarctic Catastrophe Threatens
A catastrophe threatens because of the rapid warming of theAntarctic. Melting ice and a rapid increase in temperaturesin the Southern Ocean have caused a horrendous drop in thenumbers of Antarctic Krill, which is the key food source atthe bottom of the Antarctic food chain.
In the past, every time the base of the oceanic food chainhas been destroyed, mass extinction has followed, on bothland and sea. This is because the complex biosphere of ourplanet is based in the oceans, and life cannot be sustainedanywhere on the planet if the oceans die.
In addition to the Antarctic disaster, similar catastrophesare taking place in Scotland, as Unknowncountry has reportedpreviously, and in growing ?dead zones? in both the Atlanticand Pacific oceans.
