Advantages of antarctica collapsing

In “Antarctic Ice Shelf Collapse Blamed On More Than Climate Change” by Aberystwyth University, the author talked about a well known iceberg called Larsen B who collapsed in 2002. However, there is some research made by some scientists affirming that the shelf was already collapsing before the summer. He also talked about who was responsible of all this that is happening in the Antarctica region. The blame was not only on climate but in major part by global warming. He told us if the ices collapse what damage it can bring us. Now there is a focus on the Larsen C shelf which is a safer area than the others. To be able to continue his study professor Glasser hope to raise some funds that will help him continue his research and prevent future catastrophic problems in this field. The collapsing ice in the Antarctica can be an advantage and provide us new sea transportation, frozen regions of earth may experience more plant growth and less need for energy consumption to warm cold places.

First, Antarctic ice collapsing will open new sea transportation for humans. New sea transportation will be an advantage to us because due to the frozen region of Antarctica navigation on the sea in that region is impossible. Greenhouse effects will help us in a way that Northwest Passage through Canada's formerly-icy north will be open to sea transportation. It will save people money by allowing them to choose airplane or sea navigation. This can bring an enormous progress to our transportation and allow us to discover more things than we weren’t able to when the Antarctica zone was frozen. It can be an international discovery for human beings and save money to them.

Second, Antarctica ice collapsing will help frozen regions of earth experience more plant growth. Regions on the Antarctica will recover from glacier and the soil will allow plants to grow and allow human beings to live there. It will be a new living place for people. More plant growth means new sign of life and it will bring a significant importance to our planet. More plants and a sign of life in this region also imply a lot of food productivity and a benefit for agriculture. Agriculture is important to our life because by that we have fresh and healthy food. It will be just another region to explore.

Third, Antarctica ice collapsing will benefit us to use less need for energy consumption to warm cold places. Les energy use to warm cold place will benefit us by saving a lot of money. We will be able to save money and invest it where we need it the most. Warming Antarctica require a lot of money and greenhouse effect will just cut that need of us to spend money to warm it. We can invest this money in many fields, health care, develop weapons and even build new roads.

In conclusion, Antarctica problems are a result of man overusing things. We have to reduce greenhouses effects and avoid this kind of problem in the future. Those advantages will be very important for man kind and allow us to do new things.
