Climate Change: Its Causes, Effects and Control
... The melting of the polar ice caps has resulted in rising sea levels with floods resulting in many places. The melting ice packs are being lost at an average of 11.5% per decade from 1970 to the present. A compilation of 100,000 glaciers from 1970 to 2013 show a decline in glacier cover. The World Gl ...

Adapting to Climate Change
... Greenhouse Gases are actually necessary, as they help to keep the earth’s surface warm by trapping the earth’s heat (the greenhouse effect). Without this warmth the earth would be unbearably cold. These Greenhouse Gases (GHG’s) include Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4), Nitrous Oxide (N2O) and Ozo ...
