Sea Level Rising

For many years the sea level has been rising due to the melting ice in both the North and South poles.
Scientists say that if this carries on, most of the UK will be under water in about 100 years. This is a terrifying thought for most people, as this means that Big Ben along side other great buildings or attractions near the coast will no longer exist; maybe the fish will be exploring sea life centres, such as The Deep in Hull, far down in the ocean.

If you're wondering, all this has been caused by global warming. The Ozone layer right above the North Pole has been 'cut open' by all the carbon dioxide being released by cars and other modes of transport. Because of this, the suns rays are coming through the damaged Ozone layer and melting the enormous amounts of ice there. Not only the rising temperatures are melting the ice, but they also mean trouble for much of the Earths wildlife and vegetation.

As you may have noticed, in the past few weeks, the temperatures have reached a record high in September this year. This 'freak' weather has confused plants and trees accross Britain into thinking that it was spring. Due to this, some pumpkins for example; have grown to be very small. Meaning that this year people will have to find an alternative fruit or vegetable to carve scary faces into on Halloween.

So, will the world only have water and no land in a couple of thousand years? Have the scientists' calculations been right? Will we be living on boats in the future? The questions still remain, until we find out for ourselves...
