Inconvenient Truth

  What I learned from an Inconvenient Truth, is that our Earth is facing climate changes which can possibly change the surface of the Earth. For example, the glaciers in the north pole are melting due to the increase of the Earth's temperature. If the glaciers in the north pole completely melt than the ocean level will rise about 20 feet. This may not seem like such a big deal; however, when taken into perspective this change in sea level can be disastrous for both people and cities around the world. For example, if the sea level were to rise 20 feet then the memorial for the World Trade Center would be completely submerged underwater. In addition to that, cities that are near the shores, such as San Francisco, would face a great deal of flooding. However, Norway, a country that is currently below sea level would be facing the most danger. Despite that, the most terrifying thing about the documentary, is the fact that the information presented in the documentary was from the year 2005. It is now 2015 and who knows how much further harm we may have caused to the planet.
