Enviormental Geography

   Today we watched a video by Bill Nye. It explained how our climate is changing and it's our fault. "Ocean acidification" a rise in activity in the oceans chemistry as a direct effect from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere reacting to salt water. Glaciers are melting and have caused the sea level to rise up about 6.7 inches. Every year since 1944 the Earth has lost 400,000,000,000 tons of glaciers/ice. Shores can't hold water, so this is causing areas to flood. "Climate change" a long-term change in the Earths overall temperature with massive permanent ramifications.
