Fluency
Frigid Siberia has gradually been getting warmer; however, scientists aren’t so sure that’s a good thing. Researchers are getting increasingly worried over the warmer temperatures causing permafrost and peat bogs to melt, thereby expanding existing lakes. In addition, many lakes are no longer freezing in the winter, which means that habitats are changing and animals are moving farther north. Of course, the animals living in the Arctic Circle don’t have many options—ocean is the only thing north of them. What is causing the thawing of the tundra? Based on the speedy rate and massive reach of the changes, some scientists say it can’t be regional climate variation. They blame global warming.
