Antarctica could melt irreversibly due to climate change

     Antarctica contains over half of the world's freshwater in frozen ice sheets. However because of global warming it could melt the water into the sea. Anders Levermann, a researcher at the Potsdam institute for climate impact research in Germany, said that once the ice melts it is very unlikely that Antarctica will go back to its original state until temperatures go back to how they were which is highly unlikely. If temperatures continue to keep rising, the ice in Antarctica will crumble and melt into the sea causing the global see levels to rise and devastate coastal cities. If global warming continues to increase it could cause devastating effects on our planet.

    I also agree that it would have devastating effects on our planet. If global warming continues at a rapid rate, lots of arctic animals will be harmed and left with no home. If the climate change continues to increase, it will ruin our air and it will transmit more and more diseases. If you do not want your future to be spent locked up inside a house that seals out the outside world, then this needs to have an end.

    It is scary to think that most of the world's freshwater could be melted away due to global warming. It is also crazy to think that the sea levels could rise. This would have a dramatic impact on many countries, and could result in land being submerged underwater if it gets to that point.

    I think that this is very scary. To think that we could destroy our own world. I hope that we some how change our ways and we don't end up destroying cities.

Current event

I am just doing a trial current event-  Are you supposed to put the link to your article in the summary?  Do you know how to do that?  My current event is an article from the magazine The Week.  It is titled   It's not just the germs — it's also the genes  The article discusses how a person's genes play a part in how viruses react within that body.  It talks about how some people may get a virus more seriously than another & how scientists can look at that information and develop therapies from.  Just so you know The Week pulls articles from other sources-  I did backtrack to check the source they got the original article from & it checks out.

Over 87,000 papers published on coronavirus since start of pandemic

 Over 87,000 papers have been published about this global pandemic. When most people think of the pandemic going around right now, they think about how awful it all is. How many people have died, how many people have lost a family member, or how many people they have lost relationships with friends or family. But, do people ever think about how this event will go down in history, and how it will affect science studies in the future? We never know what type of science we will come across in the future, but we can say that science evolves every day, and things are constantly changing. This is why so many people are interested in this pandemic. The more we know about this pandemic, the more we can do to try and change is. So, what will science bring in the future? And how will it impact future in sciences? We won't know the answer to either of those questions for a long time, but we can certainly say that it will evolve so much, and make things a lot more interesting.    htt...
