The movie, The Day After Tomorrow, is actually about the issue of global warming which caused the temperature to increase the earth’s atmosphere where polar ice caps are melting and thus, increasing the water levels of oceans. Then flooding occurs, and other climatic disturbances occur all over the world as well. This sets the stage for a new Ice Age. At first, I thought it’s a movie about weather, dramatic and a disaster movie. It provides suspense and a prediction of a climate shift which is going

warming is the temperatures itself. The average temperature across the world is higher than the previous years. Many areas are experiencing the highest temperatures ever recorded. There is evidence that due to this rise in temperature even the polar ice caps or ice glaciers have started to melt. According to reports, many countries around the world have been experiencing a very warm temperature even when to those countries that experience winter. Evidences show that the combined land and ocean temperature

industry, transportation, waste, and everyday living. Everyday large amounts of pollutants are released into the atmosphere leading to the greenhouse effect and global warming. This global warming can cause major issues such as the melting of polar ice caps and a rise in sea level, which in turn would cause intense flooding in most if not all coastline areas, giving cause to other disasters such as mass erosions,mud slides, outbreaks of disease to more humid climates coastal reformation, and other disasters

warming continues to melt more and more of the polar ice caps. Global warming also raises the average world temperature and continues to rise every year. An ordinary human has a 35% risk from getting a respiratory disease caused by pollution. If I could take pollution out of the world, our living environment would be a better, more safer, and cleaner area than it was with pollution. Global warming would eventually come to a stop and the polar ice caps would start to form back in Antarctica, and there would

State Imposed Revenue Caps The Ellsworth Community School District, which happens to be the district I’m a part of, has been heavily impacted by state imposed revenue caps. Recently, due to these limits, the school board came to the voters for a revenue limit override. This is basically the local people giving the district the ability to exceed revenue limit.

might walk outside today and think: ”This looks nice, I do not see a problem with nature as it is”, but that is only true to an extent. Many of the major changes, which happen in nature, are not visible in the western world. For instance, the polar ice caps are melting, which some day may cause the sea levels to rise and flood coastal cities. That is not something we can see when we look out the window, and that makes it hard to relate to. Many rainforests are cut down to grow fields, use the wood for

oil and natural gas, it has started producing some serious effects on our environment. Rise in the number of vehicles and industries have badly affected the quality of air. Rise in amount of CO2 emissions leads to global warming. Melting of polar ice caps, changing climate patterns, rise in sea level are few of the consequences that we might we have to face due to environment pollution.
