Melting of Greenland glaciers get 80% faster. Alaska glaciers are melting 30% faster. The glaciers are retreating at faster pace then before. This is shocking statistics.
Lot of ice bodies turned down resulting in increase in the sea level. Let us see what happens when sea level raise by 7 meters. Florida would be worst hit, most part of Brittan would have gone, and lot of costal areas of other continents would have gone underwater. If we see past history of 1000 years, the landscape was carved by nature. Our human intelligence towards overwriting nature and the quest of faster growth & comfort accelerated the natural disaster. When technology or innovation happens focusing only on betterment of human race, lose its focus on what damage it creates to the environment. We don’t realize that in parallel to our growth / human development, we create enough damage to earth. When we look back what we did, are we looking ahead of handing over safe place to the generations to come? Are they going to pay for the damages we have created? Let us think!
