glaciers are melting very fast

As big as Manhattan huh? Well that is pretty big. But in the event of something like that a city such as Manhattan will be under water, it would become another Atlantis. Now I am not saying that every piece of land would be under water, only the low line land. As far as the high level land, that would still be there, but very little of it. If that were to occur, that would be a major disaster. Should we worry? I would say so, but it probably would not happen for a very long time.

Scientists say it's possible that the sea level can rise up to 60 cms. Not scary at this moment, but sit on a beach, look back and add 60 cms to the point where you are sitting. You can imagine the new coastline. And, think of the waterlevel in the rivers! How deep inland will the effect of that 60 cms be. Islands, which don't even top 60 cms. Scared now?

I have heard of ice from Greenland and the Antartica melting before. Is this a recent melt? It is hard to describe what could happen, as I dont fully understand the scientific effects of a laerge melt. I do know tha tsea levels can rise, and that would mean for countries such as AUSTRLIA, quite serious effects. Most of our cities are on the coastline. I also believe that a very large ice melt, coud affect climate, as most of our climate is formed over the poles.

It is terrible to have this kind of thing from happening when glaciers are melting so fast that a lot of land is disappearing because of the melting glaciers. Where people and animals will live is a question for us to carefully think about. I hope that government will consider taking some measures to help with our environment to reduce more emission and pollution of all kinds with certain protection of the environment.

You should not let it upset you so much. The earth goes through cycles of heat and cold. I remember in the 70's a major magazine had as its cover title "The New Ice Age?" and theorized that by now we would all be freezing. There are a lot of things to contribute to warming and cooling such as sunspots, solar flares, how far we are from the sun in our orbit, etc.

yes its so amazing for us to know about the news, we dont the future our children wwe just pray nalang

hi tigeraunt I am not worried as this has happened before then nature has recovered so as I have closer things to be concerned with and worry stress me then my blood sugar raises. so no' I am not worried. I think nature will right itself and that we should be more concerned about the lousy economy in my country the United states. this is where my concerns are right now.we need people to be back working and thus the economy picking up so businesses can once again thrive.

Sweety I have read this news too, like all responsible citizen i really feel worried, i always blame me for being a part in this act, we are playing with mother earth in various ways, naturally we have to face the consequences.. Thanks for sharing Best of luck. Professor

yes its so amazing for us, we dont know the future of our children maybe its because of our sins
