Climate+Change+Intrepretations

How students represent climate change in a picture A.  I chose this picture to represent the warming of Greenland. I think this picture can show that Greenland is warming and ice is melting because if I label this, the ice-cream becomes the ice on Greenland and the cone becomes the land. Because of the warming, the ice-cream is melting and the melted ice-cream will become a puddle, which is the rise of water level. The cone, no ice to keep it there, becomes a new island, the ones that the explorers have recently found.



B. This picture shows how much the melting of ice sheets in Greenland increased.In the article, it said the melting of ice creates floods and all the bad things.So I attached the picture that showed how much the melting is getting faster and faster every year, and we can know that Earth is getting hotter and hotter. Picture for the Article

C. This is a picture of melting glaciers. As the article had mentioned, melting ice is a huge problem. Melting ice increases the sea level, which causes floods and for the small islands to disappear. Until recently, the ice sheets were known to react not very quickly. However, the ice were found out to react very quickly to the temperature. The article also mentioned that over long periods of time, much larger sea-level will rise and make the world’s coastlines unrecognizable, making them into a whole new series of islands. Dr. Leatherman said that Miami is going to have an ocean on both sides of it.

D. Scientists don't know how much Greenland's ice will melt in the future. Even a computer model can't predict the ice sheet. The acceleration of tidewater glacier melting the sea level would rise 1~2 feet in the coming years, not close yet. Greenland's glaciers have been shrinking for the past century, that the ice melt is not a recent phenomenon caused by global warming. E. This is a picture of Greenland. This used to be a part of Greenland, but the warming caused this to be an island. Since it was warm it made the glaciers retreat. Now as you can see in the water those are pieces of ice melting. F. This picture is in Georgia and it is mostly dried up. It explains that huge demand from people with less nature supporting it. There are many path that can be easily reached by human so it also shows how it dried up.

G This is an example of ice melting in Greenland. As you can see, glaciers are cut off and there is very little ice. Why would such a thing happen? The answer is global warming. Due to global warming, temperatures are rising, which melts the ice, and which raises the sea level, rapidly. If we continue to waste, this will be what we wish for, 10 ~ 20 years later. H. This is a picture of the ice leftover after a large portion of the ice melted in Greenland. The melting ice exposes the land and my "create" new islands. However, the melting ice problems not only reveal more nunataks, but will raise the sea level. Low lying coastal cities may be underwater if the ice continues to melt. Ice is melting also in the Arctic and Antarctica.

I. This Iceberg was starting to melt slowly because of the global warming processes. It is a very big problem because experts predict they will all be melted and will cause the iceberg to melt like this. The top on was before the global warming and when everything was fine but because of the unstoppable global warming, the experts think they will be all melted like the bottom picture in a century. Can you imagine this much of water will be flooded to our Earth? That’s why global warming is dangerous and the author is mentioning this problem of global warming. J. The ice of greenland is melting quicker than thought possible. The melting of the ice is very dramatic, and the differences are clear as the years pass by, as you see in the picture. As you can see in the top picture, there is (salt) water under the melting ice. Also, the ice is very white, covered in snow in 2003, but in 2005, it is mostly transparent-"ish", and there is water running out from it.

K. This picture shows you a situation of where water shortage occurs. Droughts are one way water shortage happen. It is a period of dry weather. During the period of droughts, the soil becomes dry, there is bad farming, and like the picture above, the faucets become dry. A lot of people struggle with water shortages.

L. Global warming make lives more hard for living thing in the poles. For example in this picture, this polar bear is suffering and has nowhere to go because the ice have been broken because of GLOBAL WARMING!! Global warming is when the Earth’s atmosphere temperature rises and the climate changes in the Earth. The Earth gets hotter which makes the glaciers and sheets of ice to melt and break into peaces. This effect makes the whole Earth suffer.

M. This is a picture of Greenland ice melting. This really shows how serious the weather climate is changing now compared to last times. The thinking that ice sheets don’t react very quickly to climate, is changing right now. (Martin Truffer) Global Warming had profoundly altered the nature of polar exploration.(Mr. Schmitt) These are the pictures of droughts. People using too much of water is also a reason why these happens. After droughts happening, the prices of the “precious” water increased like now.

N. This article describes a situation in which global warming is causing the glaciers to melt in various places. This picture shows the example. It shows a glacier beginning to melt. This is also included in the conflict of global warming.

O. I chose this picture fir representing the melting of ice sheets in Greenland. I think this picture is related to the article about the Greenland's ice sheets melting, because this picture shows how fast the ice sheets are melting. This picture shows how much the ice sheets melted in a certain amount of years... The problem in the article is that Greenland's ice sheets are melting fast! So the picture is the warning for all of us that the sea level will rise.

P. These two images combined are Lake Lanier in Georgia. The article talks about the drought in Lake Lanier. This images were taken from the same spot. The left picture was from last year, whereas the right picture was taken very recently within two months. This picture clearly shows how the river that supplies water is draining out pretty quickly. It also expresses the emergency of the drought affecting the region people. It is pretty scary news that within months, the water level went down a lot.

Q. This picture is drought. We can know this because the land is very dry. Some of the drought picture, you can notice it is a drought picture because the land is cracking. Anyway, you can also know it is drought because there are less plants.

R. S. This is my picture, Earth melting like an ice cream cone. I think that this represents the melting of the greenland. If you see the picture, the "ice cream" or Earth (which I think is ice in this picture) is melting to the cone. The cone will melt and melt because of the warming, leaving a puddle. In the 'real' article, the glacier melts and leaves a puddle, which later on becomes a new land, or an island. I think that this picture that I chose is trying to show that. The earth melts, making new land. T. Since the global warming is getting serious on Earth, the ice everywhere is melting. Most animals that live on the ice are having a hard time because lots of ice has melted and they have nowhere to go. They have to find ice that they can stand on but the ice is melting and so all they have left is a stand of ice that will not last long. As you see in the picture, the polar bear is standing on a tiny piece of ice to survive. Polar bears cannot swim that far so this polar bear is risking his/her life.

U. This Picture represents the article called “The Warming of Greenland”. This represents that article, because the article is about global warming, and how they affect ice. In this article, they say that ice is melting very fast due to the climate change. They talk about glaciers in Greenland losing ice because of Global Warming. The main topic in that article is melting ice, and this is happening because of Global Warming. Therefore, this picture represents this article, because this is a picture capturing melting ice due to the Global Warming. V. This is a picture of a polar bear from Greenland. As you can see, this polar bear has no ice to stand on. So he is holding onto the small piece of ice. The ice are melting because of Global warming, or rising temperatures of the Earth. As more and more years past by, almost every part of Greenland might be water. W. This picture is for article about "The warming of Greenland". I think this picture matches with global warming. Because now the glaciers are falling out from it's mainland. And this picture shows that once a glacier is now a little island. X. This picture shows a small world on fire, in the palm of a human hand. I believe that the fire on the earth is used to represent global warming. It showes us that we really are burning up the planet. But the more significant represntation is that of the world in a human hand. It showes that the future of the world is in are hands, and its future is well, is a huge idea and it is mostly true. It shows also that the cause of global warming is also us. We can either burn up the planet, or restore it to its beauty. Y. This picture is about the global warming conditions. The heat is starting to melt the north and south poles. Also, people should start saving the Earth! Earth will live longer if people dont make global warming happen.

Z. This picture is for article about "The warming of Greenland". I think this picture matches with global warming. Because now the glaciers are falling out from it's mainland. And this picture shows that once a glacier is now a little island.
