Climate Change Affects Sea Level's and Temperature

As explained in the post before, the sea level's have been on the rise due to the dramatic melting of the glaciers, another problem that arises from constant glacier melting, and melting of the arctic ice, is sea surface temperatures. For one, warmer waters in shallow locations have contributed to a massive amount of dead corals, due to this catastrophic event, many coral animals have died or have been weakened greatly due to the loss of their homes, or feeding locations, also many animals have also died due to bleaching which is also closely linked to the process of warmed waters. Similarly to oceans, lakes are warming, the temperature worldwide has risen, the temperature rise increase algal bloom, in lakes, and favour invasive species, and lower lake levels. Referring back to warmer oceans, that also means that sharks would migrate down to past cold waters, including Vancouver, and Seattle, YIKES.

Climate Change Affects Glaciers

Glaciers and permafrost have been melting gradually, in the early years of the world, but due to the global warming, and climate change in the world today, over the past one hundred years, mountain glaciers almost everywhere in the world have decreased in incredible sizes, and similarly with the amount of permafrost in the Arctic. One specific example, is the idea of Greenland's ice sheet which is melting at a incredible speed at the moment. Another effect of melting glaciers is the sea level, sea level's have been rising dramatically over the years, (about 15cm) due to melting glaciers. Graphs and models predict that the sea level with rise as much as 59cm during the 21st century which would cause flooding and threaten coastal communities and wetlands.

Climate Change Affects in the Arctic

The climate change is affecting the arctic greatly, due to global warming. First, the arctic sea ice is melting, by the summer of 2009, the thickness of the sea ice, has been cut down to a dramatic half of what it was in the 1950's. Melting ice can lead to changes in ocean water circulation. Plus with all the sea ice already melting, this affects the warming in the arctic by speeding it up.
