This story talks about how the Earth is being affected by natural disasters. We are also facing climate crisis and it is very dangerous for the future. The first picture taken of Earth was on Christmas Eve 1968, by an astronaut name Apollo 8. In order to see Earth's shape and size of the continents clearly they use any projection. There’s about 6.5 billion people on Earth. Technology has become so powerful that we are causing harm to the environment. The vulnerable part of Earth is the atmosphere surrounding the Earth. The atmosphere is very thin, we are capable of dramatically changing its composition. Paper mills are the biggest industrial pollutes in the United States. As well as greenhouse gases which holds heat such as carbon dioxide,

Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa was once famous because for its snow-covered peaks. Ernest Hemingway was standing next to a giant icicle (glacier). He predicts in 10 years the snow of Kilimanjaro will disappear. Glaciers are huge masses of compacted ice. All over the world they are disappearing because of the weather changes. Almost all mountain glaciers in the world are now melting and many of them as fast. Mount Everest is popular for being the biggest tallest mountain ever. If glaciers disappear in the next world's half century, 2.6 billion of the world's people will face a very serious drinking water shortage. Greenhouse gases are also causing glaciers to melt and the hottest temperature of the year recorded was in 2005. Were already seeing heat waves and that is very dangerous. Summer 2003 a massive heatwave in Europe killed 35,000 people. Higher temperature causes soil to dry out and causes moisture for healthy crops to grow. Farmland can dry out if we keep adding carbon dioxide to the United States. Drier soils, leaves, and wildfires are becoming more common. Warmer air produces lightning, another cause of fire. Another effect on our climate are …show more content…
The U.S. Was being battened by hurricanes. Warmer water increases moisture content of storms and warmer air holds more moisture. In Central Africa there used to be a huge lake called Lake Chad. People depended on that lake for crop irrigation, fishing, livestock, and drinking water. Then as years go by Lake Chad starts to be getting dry out and less water. Arctic and Antarctica are vulnerable to global warming as they both have snow and ice. Arctic is ocean surrounded by land while Antarctica is land surrounded by ocean. The Arctic ice cap is ten feet thick on average. Global warming affect the ice by making it thinner and in 2002 Ward Hunt ice shelf cracked in half. Arctic region is meant to stay frozen all 365 days. The ice gap is melting quickly and shrinking because of global warming. The ice cap helps cooling the entire planet. Polar bears travel from ice floe to ice floe. Since ice is separate the polar bears swim longer distances. Some polar bears get exhausted and drowning before they reach the next ice. Antarctica is much colder than Arctic and is actually a desert. An icy desert. Scientists believe global warming is responsible for the thinning penguin
