Melting glaciers can change our lives completely. There are a lot of ways melting glaciers can change our lives. -Extreme Flooding -Poverty -Shortage of electricity -Biodiversity loss and animals losing homes -Loss of fresh water -Shortage of clean water
1. Biodiversity loss and animals losing homes Lots of animals live in cold temperatures like Polar bears, Penguins, Seals, and Sea lions. Melting glaciers can take away all of the animals home. Because of global warming the temperatures are getting hot in Antarctica and some of the animals are struggling to survive. 2. Poverty Melting glaciers can also lead to poverty. When glaciers melt, sea level rises which can cause extreme flooding and wash away people's home. 3. Shortage of electricity We all need electricity, but if the glaciers melt It can cause extreme flood. Extreme flooding can take away lives so we need to stop the glaciers from melting because stopping sea level rises will mean stopping the production of electricity and without electricity our lives can get very hard. 4. Loss of fresh water Studies show that only 3% of the worlds water is fresh and 70% in that 3% is FROZEN and if those glaciers melt, it means we're losing 70% of the 3% of freshwater.
