The movie Chasing Ice is a documentary film of one former scientist doing a long term project with his team taking pictures of Iceland, Greenland, Alaska and Canada and tell us how humans are affecting the climate. They take shots for every six months apart to see the changes of glaciers before and after. While looking at the shots, I was able to see some changes of landscapes that were covered in snow to landscapes that are almost bare ground.

There are a lot of causes that causes global warming. First of all, burning fossil fuels such as oil and coal to generate the electricity and to run the vehicles, traps the gas which cause global warming. The more we burn the fossil fuels, the faster the climate will change. Second cause of global warming is deforestation. Plants absorb the carbon dioxide from the air and release oxygen. However, when trees are being removed or cleared, carbon that were stored convert back to carbon dioxide. Another cause is from the industrial process. A lot of industries produce or emit variety of greenhouse gases while they are producing the products that people
