Melting icebergs
There are many concerns about the melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet and the Antartic Ice Sheet. As global temperatures increase, so too does the rate that these ice sheets are melting. Sea levels have risen by about 2.8mm per year over the past decade, and recent studies indicate that water flow from these ice sheets contribute to about 0.5mm of this rise. Studies also indicate that the Antartic Ice Sheet may be losing mass, as water losses along the coastal areas of the ice sheet have begun to exceed the accumulated snowfall at the centre, where mass would usually be gained.

Cow
The manure produced by cows naturally releases methane into the atmosphere.Companies can then take this manure and flush it into a tank or tented lagoon, where the manure can decompose and the methane gas bubbles off.

Our Planet
Climate change is a significant change in the average weather or climate that a region experiences. Climate change can be caused by natural factors such as variations in sunlight intensity. However, the term climate change is now generally used to refer to changes in our climate due to the build up of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere. This build up of GHGs is caused by excess emissions due to certain human activities, like burning fossil fuels for energy, transport and heating.
