Theme Of Global Warming In The Marrow Thieves

The Melting Point: How Global Warming is Changing the World Forever By:Santiago Reyes Medina

In the novel The Marrow Thieves, the author of the story used many ideas and problems that we face in our modern society. The author gives a horrifically good depiction of what our earth could look like in a couple years or so. By doing this, the book gave the readers more of an idea of what's to come in our near future and the consequences of our actions. When people, most notably directors and book writers, give a taste of the real world in their work, it gives their work more of a feel and sensation than those of non-fiction works. Undeniably, giving it more of a touch of a real life aspect makes the book more powerful and meaningful, and could

Global warming is a serious problem in today's society and will continue to be as long as humanity continues to live on for. The effects of global warming in the novel were catastrophic and most of that damage is now irreversible, and it's not to say that those things won't happen to us. "Increasing magnitudes of warming increase the likelihood of severe, pervasive, and irreversible impacts." ( Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ).

There are times in the book where it tells us what the earth could look like in the future such as “The earth was broken. Too much taking for too damn long, so she finally broke… A melting north meant the water levels rose and the building tsunamis, spinning tornados,crumbling earthquakes, and the shapes of countries were changed forever, whole coasts breaking off like crust.” (Cherie Dimaline. The Marrow Thieves, Cormorant Books Inc, 2017, pp. 87). These types of sentences are what makes the book have an overall better understanding of global warming because it relates to real world

Increasing temperatures, increasing sea levels, melting glaciers, and extreme weather events like storms, droughts, and floods are all direct results of global warming. Experts foresee severe effects for the planet's future, including severe food shortages, climate refugees, and the extinction of numerous species, if global warming continues at its current rate.“This warming trend is alarming. Our warming climate is already making a mark: Forest fires are intensifying; hurricanes are getting stronger; droughts are wreaking havoc and sea levels are rising. NASA is deepening our commitment to do our part in addressing climate change. Our Earth System Observatory will provide state-of-the-art data to support our climate modeling, analysis and predictions to help humanity confront our planet’s changing climate.” (NASA Administrator Bill
