What is Global Warming or

Climate Change?

"Climate change" affects

more than just a change in

the weather, it refers to

seasonal changes over a

long period of time.

Climate change is

the result of global

warming which

refers to rising

global temperatures

.

shaping natural ecosystems, and the human

economies and cultures that depend on them.

How is climate

change and in

turn global

warming

effecting the

Arctic?

According to Earth’s Best

Defense

If this trend continues,

summers in the Arctic could

become ice-free by the end of

the century. If this continues

hundreds of Arctic species

could be wiped out.

Average temperatures

in the Arctic region are

rising twice as fast as

they are elsewhere in

the world.

Final Dialogue

Also by the year 2100

the rise of sea level

by 7 to 13 inches.

Which means the

coast line being

moved back several

miles

But by running

cleaner energy

and burning less

gas everyone can

do there part to

help.
