The loss of large areas of ice on the surface could accelerate global warming and because less of the sun’s energy would be reflected away from Earth t. resulting in melting glaciers and a rise in sea level (Strickland‚ Grabianowski‚ 2005) melting of ice glaciers are causing serious treats to Greenland and Antarctica. The rise in sea levels could cause flooding problems for low- lying coastal areas‚ but if Antarctica ice sheet were to melt of collapse into the

Rapid changes in the biosphere‚ especially marine life of the oceans‚ dying off of coral reefs‚ flooding of island states‚ melting of Greenland’s glaciers‚ etc. 8.)

An Inconvenient Truth The climate crisis that our planet faces has become an ever-increasing and extremely controversial issue. In the book “An Inconvenient Truth‚” Al Gore goes beyond the political and economic implications of this crisis and states that global warming is a moral issue that humans need to address. For years‚ scientists have been examining the reasons for the changing climate and have come to the conclusion that global warming is real and it is serious threat to the world. Eventually

the house you live in today became a part of the ocean. Does it seem to you like something almost impossible? It might. Sea levels rise because of global warming‚ for two reasons: first‚ hot water expands‚ and second‚ it causes glaciers to melt‚ and water from these glaciers goes straight into the ocean. This problem might seem like a tiny one compared to others‚ but it isn’t. Today I want to inform you about why sea level rise is a bigger concern than what it seems to be‚ especially in the upcoming

He then went on to talk about how the glaciers are melting at much faster rates today. In a few years there will not be any glaciers in Glacier

Global Warming Throughout the years‚ many topics have been brought to attention and have caused many controversial discussions. Being one of them‚ Global Warming has been the number one controversial topic for decades. One main subtopic talked about has been the different types of “effects” Global Warming has caused on this Earth to go through. One effect is Greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases can stay in the atmosphere for an amount of years ranging from decades to hundreds and thousands of years

University of Alaska Fairbanks has found methane bubbling up from the lake bottoms. Many researchers have also found that permafrost can crack open into mini canyons called thermokarsts‚ which expose much greater surface area to the air‚ speeding melting and the release of greenhouse gases. And recent expeditions off Spitsbergen‚ Norway‚ and Siberia have detected plumes of methane rising from the ocean floor in shallow waters. If you extrapolate from these burps of gas to wider regions‚ the numbers

is schrinking and the river is going to dry out in the future‚ because the meltwater from the mountains is gone in 20 years and then there is no water anymore from glaciers. So in 20 years the river probably is a dry river. If the temperature is rising ‚the snow is melting of the Himalayan glaciers and an effect is that the melting water comes down into the river which causes heavely floodings. There are more and heavier erratic rainfalls in the Ganges in the monsoon season. Warmer and
