what's next for Venice

It seems like the idea of global warming is getting more and scarier as the days go on. The news about Antarctica should really be a wake up call. Perhaps it may be the next Venice. According to in convenient truth, it seems like the whole entire continent is under self destruction. The major problems are that the green house gases are trapping the sun rays. This means that, this is why our earth is warming up as we know it. There is too much Co2 in the air. In reaction to this situation the Co2 helps to prevent earth’s heat from going back into the atmosphere. And because the earth is getting warmer, due to trapped sun rays, Antarctica is melting as we speak.

It sounds crazy just saying it. I think that Venice will be covered in water, due to the continuing amount of rising sea levels. As places such as Antarctica is melting, this means that there is more water in the ocean. But besides a missing continent, what else will happen at this rate. According to An Inconvenient Truth, this is a very bad situation for our animals, such as polar bears, penguins, and any other animals living on this big chunk of ice. This terrible situation means that there will be a real shortage of these particular species. Reason being, is because as the ice melts, the pieces of land melts away into the ocean. Often times these animals must swim many miles, in search of shelter. The sad part is that they drown, because the distance is too far. I couldn't imagine the feeling, The feeling of fighting for my own life. This is just one of many tragic stories, of how global warming is not only, taking away our world, but our animals as well. So in my opinion, Venice doesn't strand a chance at this rate. Something must be done, immediately.
