The Scenаriо:A cоmmunity in Nоrthern Ontаrio hаs been recording the "Ice-Off" date (the first day a lake is completely clear of ice) for over 50 years. Their records show that the ice is now melting 12 days earlier in the spring than it did in 1970. Explain how the human activity of burning fossil fuels in our cities leads to the ice melting earlier in this remote lake. (key words: Green house gases, atmosphere, trap) Identify one biotic factor in the lake that might be affected by the ice melting earlier every year.
