Antarctica is one of the regions in the world most affected by climate change .It is depleting itself from the world because of how warm it is. A growth of moss in Antarctica over the last 50 years has occurred because of the temperatures increasing. The continued retreat of glaciers will make Antarctic, which has been warming at a faster rate than the rest, a much greener place in the future. In addition, even though plant life only exists on a tiny fraction of Antarctica, about 0.3 percent. It is predicted that in the next 15 years all of Antarctica would be full of plant life. As land cover increases and the snow and ice cover decreases, the area also absorbs more heat. That could bring an ecosystem shift to Antarctica that is more in line

Thousands of Adelie penguin chicks have died of hunger due to the unusual expansion of the ice pack. Which is now decreasing not only their species’ but other species of animals there too. However, not only that, a warmer and more acidic sea has led to coral bleaching. Just from climate change, it has created a domino effect.
However, climate change is not from the environment it is from us. The release of greenhouse gases has increased significantly since the Industrial Revolution, mostly from the burning of fossil fuels for energy. Carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas, is increasing in the atmosphere faster than at any time measured in the past, having grown by about 35 percent since 1850.All of this is what is contributing to climate change, which is effecting places around the world just like the …show more content…
How would we get electricity?
Another solution that has just been raised in the media not long ago is nuclear power, and maybe the next big thing. Although it can produce electricity in an environmentally friendly way and last through the day and night for forever. What happens if the nuclear power plant had a leak or even blew up? I could not even imagine how many people we would kill. Any homes, families, and animals nearby with a 7 km radius would die because of the severe radiation it would cause and it would contaminant the area
