20 million tons of plastic enter the ocean every year. thats equal to 3kg per person per year. plastic makes up nearly half of each persons contribution to ocean polution. Fertilizer, Manure and untreated sewage causes dead zones, this is made up of 1.4kg per person per year. Waste oil for vehicles comes in at nearly 180 grams per person per year.

This Article talks about rising sea levels and melting ice caps. After temperature rises and a huge rise in sea level about 130 meter from its initial level before the warming the levels continue to rise at an unprecedented amount.

Between about 21,000 years and about 11,700 years ago, Earth warmed about 4 degrees C (7.2 degrees F), and the oceans rose (with a slight lag after the onset of warming) about 85 meters, or about 280 feet. However, sea levels continued to rise another 45 meters (about 150 feet) after the warming ended, to a total of 130 meters (from its initial level, before warming began), or about 430 feet, reaching its modern level about 3,000 years ago.

This means that, even after temperatures reached their maximum and leveled off, the ice sheets continued to melt for another 8,000 years until they reached an equilibrium with temperatures.

Stated another way, the ice sheets' response to warming continued for 8,000 years after warming had already ended, with the meltwater contribution to global sea levels totaling 45 additional meters of sea level rise.

From about 3,000 years ago to about 100 years ago, sea levels naturally rose and declined slightly, with little change in the overall trend. Over the past 100 years, global temperatures have risen about 1 degree C (1.8 degrees F), with sea level response to that warming totaling about 160 to 210 mm (with about half of that amount occurring since 1993), or about 6 to 8 inches. And the current rate of sea level rise is unprecedented over the past several millennia.

Why is it an issue that the ocean levels are rising? why is it a problem that the water is full of plastic and waste? Water levels rising creates stress for coastal eco systems, These places provide protection from storms, homes for wild life and are important for commercial fisheries. Fish, turtles, seabirds and other marine animals can get tangled in the plastic that you throw in the ocean. This causes suffocation, starvation and drowning. It's is beyond common for animals like turtles to try and eat things you may not think is an issue such as plastic bags, and plastic sheeting.

There are several things to do instead of throwing out all your bottles and caps, plastic bags and cans. Bottles and cans can be brought to your local recycling facility where they will be properly sorted and recycled properly. There are many companies who take your used bottle caps and recycle them into new useful everyday items. Do your part recycle smarter

Long term changes in temperature and weather patterns are referred to as climate change. While these changes may be organic, human activity has been the primary cause of climate change since the 1800s. This is mainly because burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas produces gases that trap heat.

climate change is happening all around the world but especially in the arctic ocean because the Arctic Ocean's sea ice cover is estimated to continue declining, and if current predictions come true, the Arctic Ocean will most likely be almost ice-free by late summer. This is anticipated to happen before the middle of the century.

climate change is happening because pf cutting down trees, burning fossil fuels, and farming livestock. these things are increasingly making climate change worse
