Den globala uppvärmningen orsakar stigande havsnivåer till följd av avsmältning av landis samt termisk expansion av vattnet. Allvarliga konsekvenser befaras till följd av detta, stora landarealer kan komma att svämmas över vilket bland annat kan bidra till klimatflyktingar. Om havsnivån ökar drastiskt står vi i Sverige inför väldiga utmaningar eftersom stora delar av befolkningen är bosatta längs
Utsläppen av växthusgaser, som till exempel koldioxid, i atmosfären leder till ökade temperaturer runt om på jorden. I tidningarna kan man läsa att den ökande temperaturen leder att glaciärer och polarisar smälter. Men ett annat problem med klimatförändringarna som ofta hamnar i skymundan i media är hur ekosystemen påverkas av de ökande temperaturerna. I det här arbetet försöker jag visa hur den öThe earth’s climate is undergoing vast and rapid chages due to the increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
