Melting ice caps are because of global warming. This global warming also causes ozone depletion.

Due date of total ice melt at the poles?
There is no official known date for the polar ice caps complete melting, climate changes and the restoration of the ozone layer may affect the melting.
How does the depletion of the ozone layer affect polar bears?
Depletion of ozone layer causes the ice caps to melt. This affects the polar bears.
Does burning of fossil fuel contribute to melting ice caps?
Absolutely! burning fossil fuels creates harmful fumes that go into into our atmosphere. These fumes are known as greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases are affecting global warming and are causing our ice caps to melt.
What about an unclean environment?
an unclean environment causes pollution that eats away the earths ozone layer causing animals to be extincted; such as polar bears as the ice caps are melting. by cayman Lambert
Is global warming here?
It IS here and is affecting the planet in many obvious ways, such as the bleaching of coral reefs, and the melting of the ice-caps, the drastic and sudden weird climate changes, and the thin ozone layer.
What do scientist mean the term global warming?
Scientists are usually referring to the greenhouse gasses that are collecting in our ozone layer trapping heat inside our atmosphere melting ice caps and raising ocean levels.
Bad things about natural gas?
It doesn't last very long; 70 years maximum It can leave soot everywhere Its wrecking our ozone layer and in consequence; melting the ice caps in Antarctica! Hope this help you! xxx
Why is ozone layer a problem?
Research has shown that the Ozone layer is currently depleting in thickness. The ozone layer is uniquely important in sheilding the earth from UV-B radiation from our Sun. UV-B radiation is particularily dangerous for life on earth's surface and is a cause of, for example, skin cancer. Since ultraviolet light contains high amounts of energy, it is known as ionizing radiation. It has the ability to break chemical bonds, which is particularily dangerous in living tissue. This is because UV-B can cause bonds in DNA to break, and is a primary cause for cancer and mutation in all complex life forms. As you can see, the ozone layer is vital and protects life on earth from these harmful rays. Research has shown that currently, the ozone layer is depleting in thickness. A major contributor to this is caused by human activities that release harmful gases and other agents into the atmosphere. The fact that the ozone layer was being depleted was discovered in the mid-1980s. One cause of this is the release of CFCs, chlorofluorocarbons. Antarctica was an early victim of ozone destruction. A massive hole in the ozone layer right above Antarctica now threatens not only that continent, but many others that could be the victims of Antarctica's melting ice caps. There likely has always been an ozone hole over Antarctica, but its size depends on how many contaminants decay the ozone.
How does insecticides affect the polar ice caps?
The spray goes up into the air damaging the ozone layer. There is already a hole in the ozone layer from car fumes, aerosols and other stuff like that which lets more of the sun's rays in therefore causing global waring.
Why have we herd so much about global warming in the past few years?
Because wasting fuel is thickening the ozone layer and keeping more heat in the atmosphere. Melting polar ice caps. Which will eventually then flood the earth killing us. Maybe turn the news on once in a while.
Why is car pollution bad?
because the fumes create a hole in the ozone layer and ultraviolent rays get through too strong and melt the polar caps
How do you get water to Mars?
To get water on mars will not be done by transportation but people will melt the ice caps by building factories to damage the ozone layer and warm the planet .
