We’ve heard so much about the effects of climate change on our ocean. Carbon pollution from fossil fuel use and land development have heated the atmosphere and ocean, leading to sea level rise, stronger storms, fisheries’ moving poleward, and widespread loss of sea ice and glaciers.

The greenhouse effect is a popular name for the earth’s warming effect which occurs naturally when gasses in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun and prevent it from escaping back into space. Warmer temperatures will encourage the melting of glaciers, ice fields, summer Arctic sea ice, and permafrost, some of which may be irreversible.
