The segment does not end with a concrete answer, but rather ends engaging the audience and asking if it is plausible to think that we could really

the North and South poles have begun to get hotter because of environmental changes, like global warming and gas emissions, causing ice caps to melt and often times, break apart. (What is a Polar Ice Cap, 2015) Why did I choose this topic? This topic is interesting for me because it proves that we, as humans, have destroyed our earth. It shows that even though we talked as a whole about fixing the global issues of our earth that we created, we didn't act fast enough to fix it, and now we are

Natural selection is the process where life forms that have more favourable traits which allows them to adapt to specific environmental pressures. Thus them being the ones to most likely survive and reproduce in larger numbers than the rest of their species. This will result in the trait being passed down in succeeding generations. An example of modern-day natural selection is the Peppered Moths. The Peppered Moths were originally found mostly with white wings with black speckles across them. This

Since the beginning of the age of industrialisation, the concentration of carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere has increased by nearly 43%. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas which absorbs and emits infrared radiation, and thereby warms the surface of the Earth and lower atmosphere. As a result of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, the atmosphere is heated and a great amount of the heat is absorbed by the ocean, causing the sea surface temperature to increase. Rising sea surface temperature
