Ice caps are melting, sea levels are rising and, so far, we are doing nothing to prevent it. The funds are there, and scientists have the technology right now. Only two barriers remain, the social and political ones. Every scientist agrees that climate change is an issue, there is no debate. This is not speculating how the…

Environmental Changes Affecting Organisms The world's climates is being affected by our way of life. Many of these changes aren't just hurting the plants and animals indigenous to these climates, it is also hurting us. Freshwater lakes and ponds, the Arctic ice caps, and humans are being affected by what is going on in the world.
