    Since the late 1800s, the average global temperature has risen by more than 1.5°F, and there are places that have seen increases of twice this amount. This warming is responsible for numerous changes beyond the thermometer. First, not only is the air temperature rising, but ocean temperatures are as well, and this is exacerbating the melting of glaciers and sea ice. This is shifting sea levels, something also affected by changes in precipitation patterns. The strength and timing of extreme weather events are also being altered.…

    The greenhouse effect, regardless of all the disagreement that surrounds the term, it is one of the most well debated because of it’s scientific uncertainties. This is where science looks to the past snow and ice caps of the northern and southern hemispheres for their inquiries. These hemispheres mostly untouched by human hands can pass on their information about the past and the possible future. Where the past is frozen in place, waiting for discovery and considered to be a vastly useful tool in determining earth’s future climate change and its possible diminishing ice caps. Snow and ice can easily change between solid and liquid states in response to relatively minor changes in temperature.…

    Earth has experienced variations in climate throughout history. Several cycles of glacial advance and retreat (specifically the Permian, Carboniferous, Cambrian and Pre-cambrian glaciations) demonstrate natural climate fluctuation. These fluctuations can be attributed to deviations in the Earth 's orbit; the amount of solar energy received by Earth differing as a result of this. Current temperature trends display an aberrant rate of increase in global lower-atmospheric temperatures. This indicates an (presumably human-induced) escalation in the volume of greenhouse gases being released into the atmosphere.…

    Global Warming and its Effect on America In elementary school, we learn the steps of the Water Cycle. We know that for it to rain, warm air has to evaporate water from rivers, oceans, pond, trees, etc, and then it transforms that water into condensation. Soon there will be enough condensation built up that we will experience rainfall, snow, and other types of precipitation. Around the world, we are experiencing a great increase in rain.…

    Global warming. This topic or word has probably come up so many times over the past few months, maybe in daily conversations, on the media, at school or even at the workplace, and most of the time, it’s not always good things we hear. This might be true in some cases, especially considering the fact that from 1948 to 2013, the average annual temperature of Canada has increased by 1.6 degree Celsius (StatCan, n.d.). Resulting, in a much more rapid rate of melting at the northern ice caps. For instance, the Meighen Ice Cap has lost 11% since 1960, around 35% of which was lost after 2005.…

    Ian Alberts, BIOL118 Dr. Hochwender: Glacier change in Antarctica Looking specifically at the temperature changes in Antarctica, the last 120 years have seen a noticeable rise (Davies 2017). Normally, such drastic changes could be explained by Antarctic Oscillation, defined as different winds changing strength and direction, but these temperature changes are too drastic to blame it on anything we have ever witnessed in history. Greenhouse gasses entering the atmosphere since the industrial revolution have only increased. A rise in industry has led to methane and carbon dioxide levels on the Earth to be at the highest point they have been in the last 650,000 years.…

    NASA study shows Antarctica gaining ice in some regions Published research concludes that Antarctica ice melt is not contributing to rise in sea level A recent NASA study shows that global warming did not cause Antarctica ice melt loss over a nine year period between 1992 and 2001, during which the continent actually gained more than 110 billion tons of ice every year. The study, which appeared in the Journal of Glaciology, also reported that the amount slowed to 80 billion tons of ice a year between 2003 and 2008, but the gains have not been consistent around the continent. According to the study results, there was a loss in ice in the area of the Antarctic Peninsula, as well as in the West Antarctica in the area of the Thwaites and Pine…

    Glaciers and Climate Change Glacier ice is the largest reservoir of freshwater, supporting one third of the world's population. Glaciers exist on all continents except Australia and at virtually all latitudes from the tropics to the poles. “How can a piece of a very large ice effect anything?” was my thought before I truly know what glacier is. According to national snow & ice data center, glaciers are made up accumulation of fallen snow exceeds its ablation over many years, and even centuries. The Earth’s climate has always changed throughout history, whether it’s because of human interference or naturally occur, it affects glacier greatly which cause a domino effect.…

The problem behind this is the lower regain are being submerge in water, pulse the glaciers themselves holds 70% of freshwater and if they melt it mighty mass with how ocean currents operates. (Transition between main points: the raise of temperature has affected many natural wildlife and the...)
