MELTING OF GLACIERS

There is a difference between sea ice and glaciers. Causes of melting the ice glaciers:
Sea ice forms and melts in the ocean, but glaciers 1)Burning of fossils fuels
are formed on land. Icebergs are chunks of glacial ice 2)Oil and gas drilling
that break off glaciers and fall into the ocean. 3)Deforestation
4)Ice breaking ships
Why are glaciers melting? I think we can organize our lifestyle in a way that is

retreating on land.

Even if we significantly reduce emission in the coming
decades, more than a third of the world’s remaining
glaciers will melt before the year 2100. As for the sea
ice, 95% of the oldest and thickest ice in the Arctic is
already gone.

Scientist Project that if emissions continue to rise
unchecked, the Arctic could be ice free in the
summer as soon as the year 2040 as ocean and air
temperatures continue to rise rapidly.

How do melting sea ice and glaciers influence
weather patterns?
Melting glaciers adversely affect the weather. The
weather may be too cold or too hot than it should be.
The sudden change of the weather affects people,
animals and plants negatively.
