"I think the causes would be radioactive waves from the sun passing through the ozone layer. If the ozone layer disappears, then those rays are definitely going to come, and then the ice is going to melt real fast. We are causing some of that. We must stop pollution and stop destroying the ozone layer. Marco Island could be the underwater city of Atlantis."

"We can stop polluting, because if the icebergs all melt, then our Earth will overflow with water. Recycling is a good idea; it's important for the future. The causes are polluting and not recycling. The biggest culprits are refineries and factories."

"I don't think we're causing all the global warming, because the melting of the icebergs is an Earth cycle. It gets hot, cools down and gets hot again; and right now it's heating up again. But we're doing some of it, too, by pollution, causing acid rain and killing our plants. I guess we could start by finding new solutions to run cars, for example."
