Burning In Antarctica

The global mean surface temperature is projected to increase by around 0.3 to 4.8 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial values by the end of the 21th century. Therefore, if we continue to not check the anthropogenic emissions, the increase may be around 8 to 10 degrees Celsius, which is incredibly damaging to various ecosystems internationally. It is difficult to determine the possible aftereffects of the ice sheets melting because the equilibrium-response timescales of them is longer than both the atmosphere and ocean. The ice-sheet/ice-shelf model shows that if the atmospheric warming increases 1.5 to 2 degrees Celsius above the present temperatures, the Antarctic ice shelves will collapse and trigger a centennial scale response –a never-ending

Scientists have given numerous warnings that human-caused, or anthropogenic, climate change is not only occurring now, but accelerating more quickly than predicted (Maibach, Myers, and Leiserowitz 295). Global warming contributes to climate change as a result of the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere (“Global Warming”). The level of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide in the atmosphere has increased significantly over the years. Patterns of warming are sufficient to conclude that this increase has coincided with the start of the Industrial Revolution (“Global Warming”). By analyzing carbon dioxide pockets that have been trapped in Antarctic ice, scientists can assuredly confirm the correlation between recent warming

Rising temperatures are causing melting glaciers, which cause rising oceans. Rising oceans will envelop entire coastal cities, killing or displacing millions of people. Our food sources will dwindle; entire species of animals will become extinct as we destroy their homes to rebuild; and as our population skyrockets, an unimaginable number of humans will be left homeless, starving, and sick.

In many of Edgar Allan Poe’s short works, he is said to not waste any space on the page , using literary devices to his advantage. This cannot be more evident than in Poe’s 1843 work, “The Tell Tale Heart”. In this work, Poe creates a chilling, and obsessive voice with hint of insanity at the hands of an unnamed narrator,using harsh diction, syntax, and tone.

Antarctica is the coldest, driest, and most inhospitable continent on Earth. Yet it is yields some 90 percent of the Earth most precious natural resource: water. But behind this pristine exterior, Antarctica is fighting a losing battle. New data suggests that the continent as a whole is warming at an alarming rate. According to recent studies gathered from Nature Magazine, the western half of the continent is warming five times faster than any other place

San Diego, Ca has several beaches locally therefore this is a concern here. There are multiple beachfront properties and businesses that would be impacted by loss of profit margins, and potentially flooding if this was to occur. The property losses would potentially be in the millions and this does not take into consideration the impact that sea mammals would feel. By 2100, the projected sea level rise (SLR) would be 5 meters above normal…and some widely projected margins estimate those 7-23 inches possible for SLR in the coming years. The Fourth Assessment (4AR) by the IPCC of 2001 gives these projections for the 21st. century. Certainly not current by any means however these projections are for this current century. Any sea level rise would have serious impacts on creeks, streams, rivers estuaries, watersheds and local beaches. These would be the long-term and

In “Study Predicts Antarctica Ice Melt if All Fossil Fuels Are Burned” news article in

“Burning all deposits of coal, oil, and natural gas would raise the temperature enough to melt the entire ice sheet covering Antartica.” According to scientists, this melting could occur in the next a thousand years. This melting would cause the ocean waters to increase rapidly and would cause a huge world phenomenon.

The rise of sea level and global warming has become a much more serious problem right now. This problem has drawn international attention, because higher sea levels in the future would cause great damages not only in coastal area, but also in various parts of the world.We have already seen thousands of people call and lead people to protect our environment and eliminate the emission of greenhouse gases. We could lose our planet as well based on what we did. We really have to take action to prevent the dangerous outcomes happen in the future, otherwise the more people’s life would be inflected and

Climate change, specifically in reference to C02 Emissions released by human use of fossil fuels and their consequential effects on the environment, is perhaps one of the most pressing issues we, not just as Americans, but as human beings face in our lifetimes. Though it may sound like a sensationalist statement the facts are hard to deny. In May of 2013, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

Global warming is not fiction. Scientists have found new and dramatic evidence of what’s happening to our world, and the impact is already being felt; it’s time for the non-believers to begin believing. The extreme weather we’ve all suffered through, all across the world should be a default red flag in your mind letting you know climate change is occurring. People put forth climate change as if it was something new although the science demonstrating man-made climate change is quite old, presented, and well established. For the past 150 years, scientists have been aware that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse-gas. In the 1800s, Svante Arrhenius, a Swedish chemist, performed the first calculations of what would happen in a hypothetical scenario where

Many women join the military to “serve the country and receive educations benefits”. Others join because they have a hard time finding a job. The military offers better opportunities for women who live in “crisis-torn” inner cities or economically depressed small towns. It allows women to obtain health care, pensions, and jobs with better pay. The disadvantages of the military is its male-dominated, even though there is a high demand for women to join. They “ camouflage its reliance on women power” so the institution can appear masculine. When most women enlist they are doing “women’s work”, which includes support and administration. They believe women who are in combat roles threaten the manliness of the military and war. In addition, women

There are possible solutions to climate change and its effects on Antarctica but if not taken there will be grave consequences of inaction. A solution to climate change is reducing our greenhouse gas emissions. A solution to climate change is reducing our dependency on fossil fuels. Another possible solution is to start more green initiatives. Corn

Decades of research suggest that sea-levels are rising, and will continue to rise as a result of climate change. This rise will have the most immediate and significant impact on

Last but not least, global warming has caused the polar ice caps to melt. The melting of the polar ice caps will cause the sea levels to rise all over the world. If the sea levels rise just a metre
