‘When the Glaciers Disappear, Those Species Will Go Extinct’

By now it is pretty well known that glaciers around the world are melting due to global warming and climate change but in recent times, glaciers in North America has shown significant decrease in size. There are ecosystems and animals such as salmon who depend heavily on streams which run off glaciers. In places such as Alaska and British Columbia, there are large numbers of people depending on the water supply for drinking and their crops.
This article is more proof that the Earth is suffering at the hands of global warming and climate change. We need to find ways to decrease the negative effects that of which are increasing at an overwhelming rate. I went to Alaska two summers ago and I was able to see several glaciers in person. It is heartbreaking to see what they used to look like and how rapidly they are shrinking.

This is so heartbreaking! I really hate how the human species is just killing the Earth and not really doing much about it as a whole.
ReplyDeleteIts really sad that all of this is happening and you realize that people are doing nothing because some of them just don't believe in Global Warming
ReplyDeleteIt is important that we continue to bring attention to the different parts of the earth that are being affected by global warming, like the glaciers.
