Global Warming

The ski resort of Chacaltaya in Bolivia will be used for the highest in the world. Although it was less than one kilometer in length, hosts international ski competitions. Today the snow is almost gone, and so we have days as a renowned Chacaltaya ski resort.

The resort is situated on a small mountain glaciers, which has always been below the ski resort opened in 1939. Over the past ten years, however, must melt the glaciers were at a higher rate. As the glacier melts, the dark rockproved below. Then the sun heats the rock, resulting in faster dissolution. Despite attempts, the snow-making machines, snow, this cycle appears to be unstoppable in the long run.

And the debate experts as being the problem of global warming, the ice on the mountains as the Chacaltaya and around the north and south poles, faster, even more pessimistic environmentalists fear melts even need to be resolved. Rising temperatures and water are two known causes, but the researchersrecently discovered other unexpected processes take as melting glaciers. The impact is the impact on people, even now, and that could change the face of the world in the future.

The glaciers of the Himalayas and the Andes could disappear in this century. Therefore, it may million people in India, Bolivia and Peru, which are now hanging glacier melt water of the mountains to be in a critical situation. The Greenland ice cap is melting fasterenvisaged as a scientist. Greenland's largest outlet glacier moves towards the sea twice as fast as it was in 1995. One reason could dissolve the water that runs down to the bottom of the glacier and the ice and rocks below. The water slide makes it easier for the glacier to the ocean.

Many researchers believe that the Greenland ice is melting, if things continue to be at least three feet of global sea level rise added to the year 2100. If the ice of Antarctica, now largelySubject to melt, could begin to see in the next few centuries, the rise of two meters above sea level and force millions of people from their homes.

How can we avoid these negative effects of global warming? "We have a serious and immediate change of attitude," says Laurie David, producer ofaward-winning film "An Inconvenient Truth, which has helped increase awareness of the problem. Many believe that an attitude of hope and the desire to tell a good start to stay. an informed public is to help in a better position to this crucial question .
