The latest data from across the globe show that the planet is changing faster than expected. More sea ice around the Arctic Ocean is disappearing than had been forecast. Regions of permafrost across Alaska and Siberia are spewing out more methane‚ the potent greenhouse gas‚ than models had predicted. Ice shelves in West Antarctica are breaking up more quickly than once

this. Global Warming is caused by many things. The causes are split up into two groups‚ man-made or anthropogenic causes‚ and natural causes. Natural causes are causes created by nature. One natural cause is a release of methane gas from arctic tundra and wetlands. Methane is a greenhouse gas. A greenhouse gas is a gas that traps heat in the earth’s atmosphere. Another natural cause is that the earth goes through a cycle of climate change. This climate change usually lasts about 40‚000 years

down Earth by reflecting the light from the sun‚ but the excess heat from CO2 emissions and the warming atmosphere causes the ice caps to melt. This reduces the amount of surface area to reflect the light. In addition‚ as the Earth warms‚ the Arctic tundra releases frozen methane that has been trapped. Methane is a gas that is “fifty times as toxic as carbon dioxide” and therefore‚ creates a feedback loop (Disruption). Methane warms up the Earth which increases the rate that methane is released back

They have the ability to quickly adapt and live in different habitats such as mountain regions‚ deserts‚ tundra and urban areas.

Because of this they are considered as a threat to many species such as amphibians‚ reptiles‚ birds and small mammals since

To put it in its simplest terms‚ climate change refers to the long term change in the earth’s temperature‚ particularly an increase in the average atmospheric temperature (Dictionary.com). Although there are some natural causes for climate change‚ most scientists are in agreement that humans are at least in part responsible for some of the effects we have already seen and must therefore take corrective action immediately to slow the process before it is too late and irreversible catastrophic damage
