An Inconvenient Truth

An Inconvenient Truth really helped to open my eyes to all the problems global warming could cause and how we are increasing its time of arrival to where we won't be able to live anymore. The greenhouse gases kept inside our atmosphere could melt antarctica, and if it does only a chunk needs to be melted the size of Greenland in order for water levels to rise twenty feet; that being said, if Greenland melts it would also rise water levels by twenty feet. Half of each can also result in the same effect. In the film all locations that would be flooded were shown. New York would lose a lot of its coast and ground zero, the area where the twin towers once stood would be completely flooded and in Florida much of its coastline would be underwater. In Asia there is an enormous amount of flooding that could occur. The amount of land that would be lost would be disastrous. Climate change would also effect the occurrences of natural disasters. That could spell out another hurricane like hurricane Katrina. In the atlantic there was a sort of water way that if stopped by the arctic or by greenland melting could cause a sort of ice age to the countries east of it like Britain, Spain, Ireland, etc. The possible results of global warming are frightening.
