climate change
Climate change is the change in weather patterns over periods of times that range from decades to millions of years. Climate change is caused by many different things and some scientists say that the main cause is global warming. Since the late 19th century, there has been an increase of temperature inside the Earth's atmosphere and oceans. Although the increase of temperature may only be 1 degree, scientists think that if the excess distribution of fossil fuels and gases in the atmosphere, that there could quickly be a dramatic change in temperature. With the increasing tempurature, it could lead to many different things. On possibility is that the ice caps could melt and tehat would add a ton of excess water into the ocean. Sea level would change dramatically and with all the extra water in the ocean, the water could go onto low land. This could possibly mean the flooding of New York and many other low land areas. We need to try to all work together to stop all the extra fossil fuels and gases into the atmosphere or else many people could loose not only their homes, but their lives because of the excess gas.
