One consequence of this issue is receding glaciers (Kerr 1). All around the world, glaciers are melting from the increase in temperature (“Early Warning Signs”). These losses are especially apparent in glaciers located in the higher latitudes. When glaciers melt, the water from the object will flow and add to the existing seawater. As a result, this will increase the ocean’s sea level, and the interaction between the two will quickly diminish the ice on the glacier (“Why do glaciers”)…

The school is clean, bright, well-kept and is rife with school spirit. The faculty, staff, and administrators are…
