Causes of poles melting

The global warming refers to an unequivocal and continuing rise in the average temperatura of
earthts claimet system.
The One of the key indicators and consequences of global warming is ice loss at the Earths
poles. As the planet warms, on average and over time, every summer more ice melts. It
refreezes in the winter, but again as temperatures rise, in general well see less ice at any given
time as compared to the year before.

But there are also people and places affected by the melting. For instance, in Bangladesh,
over one million people have been displaced do to the rising sea and the rising rivers: the
Ganges and the Bramaputra. It is expected that if no action is taken, that thirteen million
more people will lose their homes in the near future. There is also a vital rice crop there,
which would be lost. This would only take one meter of rising to do all this damage. There
are also many island nations; like Tuvalu, that is no more than fifteen feet above sea level
in any place, but most of it isnt even a meter high. Much of the island is already
extensively flooded.

There is another extreme case of melting, but it isnt at the poles, its right at the equator in
Africa. These mountain peaks covered in ice have been told about for centuries, but they
are expected to be gone in twenty years if nothing is done. Richard Taylor of the
University College of London Department of Geography concludes that these changes in
air temperatures in the Rwenzori Mountains that are causing the glaciers to recede are
letting mosquitoes to live in areas that they couldnt live because of the environment, and
they are now spreading disease; malaria specifically. He also says that these mountains
are natural barriers between neighboring tribes that could enslave and kill each other if
they werent separated by these mountain caps like they have been for generations. But
there is also a danger to the native wildlife. Many species of endangered animals live there
like: elephants, chimpanzees. There are also about eighty-nine species of birds that are in
danger as well. These ice caps also contribute to the Nile River. The Greek Philosopher
Ptolmey referred to these as "The Mountains of the Moon whose snows feed the lakes,
sources of the Nile."
