Why ice melts hurt more than the pandemic

Standing on the bright white sheet of ice, alongside thousands of them, who are just like us. We are surrounded with nothing but icebergs, underneath the dark blue skies that are full of shiny sparkling brights. Among many of these shiny sparkling brights, are the little satellites, which keep watching us day and night.

We then skid on ice and travel miles, just to reach-out for our appetite. A loud thud from behind shakes your feet and until you turn to realize, many among your thousands have already slipped into the deep blue freezing seas. Already tired after traveling miles, they are in no condition to ascend on your tall white sheet of ice. At once, they need your help, but none of you can help. The ice sheet beneath your feet is huge and it simply cannot be climbed by them, nor do you have a rope for them to cling onto.

After a snappy little thinking break, you decide to rest, just hoping that the ice sheet beneath you doesn't make that sound again.

You travel, you rest, you hope!

Until one very fine day, your entire ice sheet barges down, crackling and sinking all of you at once.

For now you are left with only two options - 1) You can either hold-on to the small ice chunk on which you still stand until it melts down, or 2) You can swim for the next hundred miles until you find a large sheet of ice to reside on. Referring to any, among these two options, do you think you can survive the freezing water for long?

If yes, then for how long until you find something to cling onto?

This story-line belongs to those, who dare to live-by on a daily basis on these ice sheets until they melt off. They are the Polar bears, Corals, Walruses, penguins and many more. Many of them have been living this fight, almost for their entire lifetime and it is much of concern, that their younger generations might also suffer such a silent miserable demise.

Within this entire story-line, there's a common recurring event. It is the sound of breaking and melting of icebergs. These events are one of the top most concerns resulting in their decreasing populations. These events are caused by global warming and an overall increase in rising sea temperatures.

Their population has drastically reduced in the past decade and it is in our hands to reverse their extinction.

However unlucky this year might be for us, this has certainly proved a lucky one for them (at least for the time being). Our pollution rates have dropped considerably low this year, which in turn has reduced the rate of global warming.

But yes!

Just like we do, they too deserve to live!

It is time we do more for them, rather than just being bystanders. We have to do our part to help them keep their houses and their younger generations safe.
