Wildfires: As mentioned at the end of A. very recent but worrying signs of Global Warming is a dramatic increase of Wildfires in heavily wooded areas thanks to the increase heat/rising temperature of the earth these deadly fires have become more prevalent over 100,000 wildfires burn over 4 or 5 million to 9 million acres of land! Specifically in California where it’s suffering the worst of this with some of their wildfires lasting days to weeks, and no matter how hard we try to extinguish these flames they just keep on coming.
Rising Tides: Once again another victim of the rapid warming of the earth snow and glacier ice caps are melting at a scarily rapid pace but you may wonder why this is such a big deal? Well these gigantic glaciers hold a massive amount of water which therefore leaks into the ocean causing a massive increase in water levels meaning it has the capabilities of flooding coastal areas and cities islands like Hawaii etc… not only that but primarily snowy peaks, mountains is melting even more rapidly which will cause species and local wildlife in these areas to move away or possibly die and change the climate drastically, leading to many
