Like the plants and animals in the forests, many others are going extinct because of pollution caused by humans. ... Many glaciers hold the majority of the earth's freshwater supply but with them melting into the oceans, lack of fresh water will be a major problem. It is said that lack of fresh water on this planet is a looming crisis that is slowly breaking up on an apathetic world. It is further said that 1 per cent of water on this planet is for humans and about 2 per cent of that is locked up in ice that is slowly but surely melting, uselessly, into the oceans. ... Global warming is b...
