Over the past century, the great majority of glaciers and the ice sheets have lost mass, which can lead to rising sea levels (Climate Institute, 2010). The researchers found that when the temperature goes beyond a particular level or a high temperature is sustained for a long period, glaciers and ice sheets will lose mass (Climate Institute, 2010). ... Global warming also results in natural disasters; for example, storms, floods, and droughts are the effects of global warming. Although a great number of studies haven't found evidence that the number of storms is increasing because of glob...

One of the most dangerous impacts that are occurring now is the melting of glaciers and the polar ice around the poles of the earth. ... If the ice continues to melt at the pace it is the environment of the entire ocean could change and cause a mass extinction of much of the oceans life. As the tons of polar ice melts away it is causing the sea level to rise at an ever-increasing rate. ... With this storms become more extreme, natural disasters occurring with more frequency and magnitude. There have been several incidents over past 5 years of record-breaking storms devastating different areas...

With the rise of the Earths surface temperatures we will start to see effects like our rainfall patterns are going to change, the ice caps and glaciers are going to start to melt, the oceans will start to rise because of the ice caps melting, there will be more coastal erosion. ... With global warming, hurricanes are likely to have faster wind speed, more precipitation, and a larger storm surge. ... The areas of the world that are permanently covered in ice are shrinking 9% each decade. ... With less sea ice seals have less places to live. ... Also ice platforms are floating farther apart from...
