Climate Change Science· What was the issue about?
There are 4 main feedbacks for this issue:
1. The ice is melting in the arctic which is causing sea levels to rise.
1. The ice is melting in the arctic which is causing sea levels to rise.
2. There is too much carbon in the atmosphere for trees to absorb.
3. Permafrost around Russia and Canada which means all the ice and tundra is melting.
4. The ice is also melting in West Antarctica and Iceland
As a result of these feedbacks the ice sea levels are rising which could soon put small islands under water.
· What is causing the issue?There is becoming a 2-3 degree rise in the earth’s temperature which causes the ice to melt resulting in the sea levels rising. This is all occurring due to too much carbon dioxide being pumped into the air from things such as cars and factories.
· Who is affected?
o People living in places where land is low or on small islands
o Us, because the price for food will increase due to the extreme climate in the world and the earth’s temperature rise.
· What can be done?
o save the use of energy
o reduce carbon emissions
o try not to travel so often and use public transport more
o use environmentally friendly products such as eco bags and solar panels
o ‘recycle, reuse and reduce’ – e.g. plastics
