Scientists are worried. They are starting to notice changes in the ocean levels. The water is rising. They are trying to predict how long will it take before our greatest cities become part of the ocean.
This has happened to the earth before. The ice age which froze a big part of the land and made the sea levels lower. Later on, it defrost and transform to what we know today as Antarctica. When this happened, the sea levels went up to the way they are today. The weather changes are not by the earth will, but because of the humans burning huge amounts of fossil fuels. The pollution that we are making is changing the earth. It changing its temperature. And it will change he land forms that are now on the planet.
Scientists need to prevent this from getting worst. They will also need to secure the cities closer to the ocean. These are the cities that will suffer the most. With the help of architects they are developing a plan. This consists in building walls that will help maintain the same levels of water near cities. It will help secure those that are in most danger such as Miami, New Orleans .This walls will help, but it will not stop the rise of the ocean. Making this walls won’t be easy .It will cost billions of dollars. And
