Ice Caps - By Eden and Emily
Telling the future of 2050
Best Case Scenario
Worst Case Scenario
In the worst case scenario, many cities and countries would be submerged underwater. If the Ice caps melted, New York, Miami, New Orleans, and Florida, plus many other cities, including the Gulf Coast along the Atlantic, would be gone.On the West Coast, San Francisco and would be in danger of becoming underwater, and Central Valley would be a large bay. In Europe, Holland, Denmark, the Baltic, and most of Belgium and England would be underwater. It also causes problems for agriculturalists, because one billion people in Asia would lose their land, and people in Australia would even lose their lives from not escaping the deserts forming an inland sea, where most of the inhabitants live.

Arctic ocean levels have been dropping quickly. (4)
This will, and can easily happen if we as humans keep using the amount of greenhouse gasses and fossil fuels we waste every day. We can stop this by not using fossil fuels, by decreasing the use of fossil fuels per year by the most populated countries. If this happened, the levels could go down, and the Earth would grow back to it’s original temperature, so the ice caps could grow again. (3)Work Cited
