disadvantages

  • It is important to remember that ice sheets absorb a great deal of the sun's heat. Ice caps also to do their part in reflecting the sun’s rays which keep the Earth cooler (see albedo). Without a decent reflective shield and solid heat absorption mechanism, the troposphere will further rise in temperature.

RISING SEA LEVELS

  • Rising Sea Levels It is simple science and logic; with excess water comes rising sea levels which have the potential of swallowing islands and nations whole.
