UNSTOPPABLE RISE IN EARTH'S SEA LEVEL SOUTH POLE DISAPPEARING WILDLIFE THE POLAR ICE CAPS MAY APPEAR TO BE FROZEN WASTELANDS, BUT IN FACT THEY ARE TEEMING WITH LIFE. THE MELTING POLAR ICE CAPS ANTAR CTIC COULD RESULT IN THE EXTINCTION OF OVER 200 SPECIES NORTH POLE OF ANIMALSS, INCLUDING POLAR BEARS AND PENGUINS.

CAUSING CATASTROPHIC HURRICANES 7out of the 10 varmest years on record have been between 2000 and 2010 AS GLOBAL TEMPERATURES INCREASE, THE INTENSITY OF RISE IN ARCTIC SEA LEVEL HURRICANES ALSO INCREASES. THE NUMBER OF HURRICANES THAT The ice tha connects the North Pole to the continents TOOK PLACE IN THE PAST DECADE IS MORE THAN DOUBLE THE of Europe, Asia and North Aeenica nelted for the tirst tine in the suamer of 2008, thus making the North Pote an istand -------- Ve are facing a warming trend unseen since hunan divitization began 10.000 years ago.

Hurricane Katrina reached Category 5 and went on Projected polar ice cap boundary for the year 2019 to devastate the city of New Orleans. Then there was Hurricane Wilma, the most intense tropical cyclone ever SEA LEVEL WILL RISE BY 10 FEET recorded in the Atlantic basin. Hurricane 50 Wilma battered Florida, Cuba Polar ice caps have shrunk by thirty-four percent in the Last 25 years Scientists estimate that in the next 50-70 years the polar ice caps will melt comptetety This witt cause the seatevet to rise by sore and southern Mexico. Not all 40 hurricanes are reported. THE WORLD HAS LESS TIME LEFT than 10 feet, causing unimaginable devastation. The submerging coastlines threaten to displace milLlions of people and wilL change the world map forever. RED ALERT- THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT 30 WHITE COLLAR Due to the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, there is an increase in the levels of unfriendly gases in the atmosphere Like carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane, These gases trap energy from the sun and cause a substantial increase in the average globat temperature. As Levels of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere continue to rise, our planet will become burning hot and will be covered in a heat trapping blanket of gases. 20 FORGET LIVING NEAR THE EQUATOR.
