Global+Warming

Not only does global warming affect the United States, but also the whole world. People and animals alike are noticing the slight differences global warming brings. In the North Pole, ice caps are melting. Polar bears need ice caps so they can rest, but if there are no ice caps to be found polar bears will have to drown and die. If one part of the ecosystem is altered, the whole food chain will be affected. (New York Times) When the ice caps melt, it will also increase the water in the oceans. It is estimated that by the year 2100, sea levels will rise at least 82 feet. (Time for Change)



There are many causes of global warming; one is by the green-house effect. The concentration of green house gases leak into the atmosphere, then heat energy is reflected back onto the earth. (Time for Change) By the year 2100, it is estimated that the earth will increase its temperature from 5.4 to 9 degrees Fahrenheit.
