Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
The front line of climate change: Alaska village must relocate as Arctic sea ice thins
Relocation of an arctic village because of the global warming? It seems so as ice isn’t formed as timely as it used to to protect this Alaskan island village from tidal waves. Although the effects of the global warming appear gradually, the impacts of extraordinary weather conditions such as hurricanes, typhoons, storms and heavy rains are catastrophic and devastating. Coastal regions around sea levels are already in great danger.
However, the problem doesn’t stop there. As a matter of fact, if the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets melt, sea levels are expected to rise about 80 meters. Should that occur, people, towns and infrastructures on coastal and inland plains would be underwater.
Enjoy reading and learning how serious and clear the danger of the rising sea levels.
