So it seems that global warming could be a bigger problem than we think. The glaciers in Antarctica are melting and sea levels are rising. They are expecting that sea levels will eventually rise up to 20 feet! That means that a significant amount of the coasts will be, in the words of Coldplay, "swallowed in the sea". They say that if it happens slowly (over the course of about 1,000 years) we could adapt fairly easily. However, if it happens quickly (within the next 100 years) it could quite possibly be devastating. Not only is global warming causing the glaciers in Antarctica to melt and water levels to rise, but it has also caused the weather to go haywire in a sense. In the 1970's there were less than ten hurricanes that were catagorized as 4 or 5. Now we expect close to twenty each year because of global warming. Pretty soon we are going to run out of names for them all. So what are we going to do to stop global warming?
