    In the online webpage “Facts: Effects”, Holly Shaftel confirms “Effects that scientists had predicted in the past would result from global climate change are now occurring: loss of sea ice, accelerated sea level rise and longer, more intense heat waves” by elaborating the effects of excessive release of greenhouse gases, resulting from various human activities, towards the environment, thus affecting the current ecosystem(Facts:Effects). She supports this claim by first stating that, according to various data collected on greenhouse gas concentration by the intergovernmental panel on climate change(IPCC), “Summer temperatures are projected to continue rising, and a reduction of soil moisture…” and thus result in severe droughts(Facts:Effects).…

    Within this content, there are certain topics that relate to the film “Chasing Ice” such as, the impacts of global warming and the annual global temperature rise. The content suggests, that although no one can exactly forecast the exact effects on the increased temperature, “some experts have predicted severe droughts and a rise in ocean leaves of 0.6 meters (2 feet) to 6 meters (20 feet)- conditions that will affect everyone on Earth” (Hales, & Lauzon, 2018). James Balog has also agreed with this, predicting that in his “daughter's lifetimes sea levels will increase between 1.5-3 feet” (----------). The concept also distributes more information on the annual temperature increase. James Balog hypothesizes that this temperature increase is one of the major factors in glacier recession.…

    This video directs you to a NASA 21st century prediction video displaying how the effects of climate change will alter our environment in a variety of regions. Climate change issues can no longer be categorized politically as global warming since we have discovered that alterations in Earth's atmospheric make-up will have different climate impacts in different regions. As the video displays, climate change will not only deliver temperature change that could alter ecosystems; precipitation patterns will greatly increase and decrease in certain areas of the world causing problems for local organisms. The areas that are deemed to see the most climactic change are the polar regions. Changes in climate patterns of the poles can have a cascading…

Climate change is posing a threat to our health, our communities, and our economy. According to scientists the main cause of climate change is from the “Greenhouse effect” and certain human activity are changing the natural greenhouse effect of our planet. Burning fossil fuels, clearing of land, lead to the heating up of the earth’s atmosphere, resulting in more evaporation and precipitation, melting of glaciers and increase sea level.…

    In 1967 a year after the first release of the book In Cold Blood by Truman Capote Richard Brooks released a film adaptation of the nonfiction novel. Both the movie and the book were based on a real life murder of a family of four living in Kansas City. Dick Hickock and Perry Smith, two men who had previously been to jail, were the central focus of the novel. Richard Brooks infused strikingly similar dialogue between characters and key events into the movie, although many minor details were lost. Because of the extraction of these details the overall mood is less intense than the book.…

    In 1999, the death of the last Golden Toad in Central America was marked to be the first documented species driven to extinction by climate change. Climate change and global warming has changed the animal’s distribution and behavior. What I mean be this is that there are birds that are migrating earlier, and in some countries they don’t even leave anymore because the climate is suitable all year around. The report, from the UN 's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), finds that many life-forms are moving north or into deeper waters to survive as their habitats shift. The melting of glaciers is causing the Adélie penguin, an artic bird, to go extinct because their home is on the undersides of ice sheets where they find refuge and algae as food.…

    Climate changing is affecting the way 5.2 million American Indians and Alaska Natives are living, 1.1 million of them on reservations or native lands. As these indigenous people are already profoundly poor, the fluctuations climate change brings, hits them even harder. Food and drink which are simple for us to get, is not for them. Food like salmon, shellfish, marine mammals, and the conventional crops are becoming more difficult to produce or find, which hurts these people economically, culturally, etc. This change in their diet and the already less than perfect lifestyle, are causing them to get sick, and further hurt their population.…

    The startling effects of climate change is all around us. On the news we see baby polar bears standing on ice cubs and factories pumping out CO2, but what about the problems no one sees?
