Despite what the label on the bottle with the pretty mountain picture, drinking water ...

... more space. It is predicted that thermal expansion alone will cause an increase of sea level of many inches. But as global temperatures continue to increase, it is assured that mountain glaciers, as well as the great masses of ice and snow that cover Greenland and the continent of Antarctica, will melt. As the ice covering these lands melts, huge quantities ... today will, in general, shift away from the equator and towards the poles. Global warming and climate change are likely to affect most, if not all, natural systems. Everything from mountain forests to coral reefs will probably fe...

... past century has risen one degree Fahrenheit over the last century. These last few decades have been the warmest this century. The sea level has risen 4 to 10 inches, and mountain glaciers worldwide have begun to retreat. One recent study by the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) said that unless governments do something to restrict the emissions of greenhouse gases ... ...

In addition, there are tons of thousands of valley glaciers that follow stream channels down mountain slopes. All together, glaciers contain about seventy-five percent of the available fresh water of the earth. Because global warming is expected to be greatest in polar and temperate regions ... ...

... decreased 40 percent since the 1960s. Current rates of sea-level rise are expected to increase as a result both of thermal expansion of the oceans and of partial melting of mountain glaciers and the Antarctic and Greenland ice caps. Consequences include loss of coastal wetlands and barrier islands, and a greater risk of flooding in coastal communities. The current pace of sea ... ...

... due to globalization are: major rivers of the world will undergo adjustments to cope with the changing water supply and may become more flood-prone, coastal erosion will increase, the mountain glaciers will retreat at a rapid pace, and shortages of fresh water and electricity will result. Many First World countries can put in the time and money to prepare themselves for ... ...
