Warming at the poles will soon be felt globally in rising seas

Global warming is a hot topic right now and has been a huge issue for a few years now. With the constant melting of ice and glaciers, the sea levels are rising faster than ever before creating a lot of problems in the near future. Sea levels of such height could prove to be very problematic when hurricans and cyclones come by. Also eventually the water will overflow and slowly start to flood the land that people have houses on.

"—Antarctic warming has been similar to the global average, although some parts are warming much faster." With the weather warming up so fast, the Antarctic is at a risk of melting away. The glaciers are rapidly retreating, much faster than they ever have creating a terrible scenario for the wild life there. Many believe that polar bears are at a risk of becoming extinct in a few years if global warming continues to trend.
