The Pleistocene period was a time when ecological changes emerged. During this period glacier formations began to arise and have been accredited with playing a role in the divergence of different species. For different species of avian there has been controversy between their origins and speciation events. Studies have been conducted for this controversy to try and find which theory to accept for the songbirds. Even though a majority of studies have accepted Late Pleistocene events role in the speciation

At the same time‚ the rising temperature thaws the primeval glaciers in the Antarctic pole and the Artic pole which attributes to the rise of the sea level. The sea levels around the world have been increasing at a catastrophic rate of 0.14 inches every year since the 1990th (Pattero‚ 2008). The tendency‚ linked

Everyday the ozone layer is slowly being uncovered. The cause of global warming are from man-made along with natural disasters. With human beings no taking better care of our earth‚ the earth reacts in many ways. The ocean expands from heat melting glaciers creating water vapors that levitates into the clouds. Water vapors float into the clouds causing rain to overflow the oceans. Temperature rises in the ocean‚ killing fish the we need. In addition to temperature increasing‚ the oceans creates typhoons

And reducing carbon emissions means that the earth won’t heat up as fast which in turn will make the glacier not melt so the sea levels will not continue to rise so quickly. It would also lead to a lower frequency of harsh weather and droughts that cause poverty and starvation which causes people to

Many views have been expressed concerning it‚ from the doom-laden to the dismissive. There is little debate that the earth is undoubtedly warming. It has been the subject of intense debate for decades now. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and industrial gases from fossil fuels play a huge role in why our environment is changing
