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.
