Farming communities around the world suffer dying corps and failed harvest due to unpredictable weathers, and cities report unprecedented temperature during summer. One of the most discussed is how the rising global temperature affects the ice caps in the North and South Pole. Compared to data from a hundred years ago, it is shown that the ice formation in the North Pole has decreased in mass and takes longer time to reform in the winter. Scientists predict that if the ice in Greenland melted, the sea level would rise up to seven meters, drowning many coastal cities and low-lying islands.
