Learning With: ‘Glaciers Are Retreating. Millions Rely on Their Water.’

The Tuyuksu glacier has been constantly studied for almost 2 decades. This specific glacier is depended on, because it demonstrates what is happening to other glaciers around the world. Climate change has been effective, because the poles have been melting providing no food or habitat for arctic animals to live. They are starving to death and most species can become extinct. If we don't fix climate change now, the earth can result in oceans of trash and an overwhelming amount of pollution flowing in the air we breathe. Melting glaciers will be unable to provide food, water, and crops we need to survive. I have a big interest in animals and studies of the world. I would hate to see such a beautiful planet be ruined because of our actions. Our actions are what can make a difference to fix this horrendous problem, climate change.

I care about the climate enough to want to do as much as I can to help. However, I don’t think about it as often as I should. This great global melting contributes to sea level rise. It affects production of hydroelectricity. It leads to disasters like rapid, catastrophic floods and debris flows. It alters rivers and ecosystems, affecting the organisms that inhabit them.
