reduced in the very near future. The film includes many segments intended to refute critics who say that global warming is insignificant or unproven. For example‚ Gore discusses the risk of the collapse of a major ice sheet in Greenland or West Antarctica‚ either of which could raise global sea levels by approximately 20 feet (6m)‚ flooding coastal areas and producing 100 million refugees. Meltwater from Greenland‚ because of its lower salinity‚ could halt the Gulf Stream current and quickly trigger

an extreme environment‚ any living organisms found in Antarctica will have to deal with these harsh conditions. Despite all of this however‚ quite a few living organisms can still be found throughout the Antarctic. These living organisms are able to survive as they have adapted themselves to suit the conditions. The adaptations of the Weddell Seal‚ the Antarctic Lichen‚ and a micro-organism called cyanobacteria will be discussed in this essay. These organisms have all adapted to the same conditions

In the start of the movie some of the actors are found drilling for ice core samples in Antarctica. The core samples are used for research in the distant pass’s climate. Well they are drilling a piece of the ice shelf breaks off. It was the size of Texas. The movie then shifts to a Global Warming conference in India. The scientist explains that

Global Warming. Shante’ Ebron 08/21/2013 Bill Gangloff SCI/275 The current cycle of global warming is changing the rhythms of climate that all living things have come to rely upon. What will we do to slow this warming? How will we cope with the changes we ’ve already set into motion? While we struggle to figure it all out‚ the face of the Earth as we know it coasts‚ forests‚ farms‚ and snowcapped mountains hangs in the balance. Mitigation means lessening the

Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth’s near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation. Global average air temperature near the Earth’s surface rose 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.3 ± 0.32 °F) during the past century. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes‚ "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas
