Future Disasters: The Polar Ice Caps ( the new atlantis)

In the last 100 years the Earths temperature has increased by half a degree Celsius this is not a lot but our ecosystem is fragile so this affects the Earth already. In addition to this in 100 years the earths surface temperature will rise by another 2.5 degrees Celsius the sea level has increased by about 15 - 20 cm in these last 100 years. 70 % of the world’s fresh water and ice is Antarctica. By 2100 the sea would have risen by 95 cms, which basically means all sea front property will become part of Atlantis. This is if the polar ice caps keep deteriorating at 9% per a year. This disaster due mainly to the green house effect is also due to the indiscretion of the human race. The green house effect is not necessarily a bad thing in fact it is a good thing because without it the earths temperature would be about -14 degrees Celsius and unable to support life but if the amount of greenhouse gases over power the ozone in the atmosphere we will have dangerous Uv rays entering the atmosphere in addition to the problem of the melting polar ice caps. We have all heard it a million times but heed it this millionth and one time be careful about how much deodorant you are using and how much air pollution you are causing. Because it might end costing humanity its life and trust me this will make Catrina look like a spring breeze.
