Global Warming
As the warm-up continues, the ice covering the poles will go on melting, and the extra water will cause a rise in the level of the oceans. Much of the world's low-lying land will be inundated. The Polar ice-cap is often more than a mile thick, and it covers millions of square miles. If the ice is melted completely it could raise the level of the sea by 150 feet. Much of Britain and Europe would be submerged.
