Week 8: Global Warming-Hirra Faizi

It is the year 7010 and we are in New York City with extra sunshine than ever before. Because of the rise in sea level water, the city is practically underwater with no life left here. The rise in sea level was caused by global warming which resulted in the melting of glaciers as well as the expansion of seawater as it gets warmer. This made it impossible for the people to maintain what once was a huge city with the tallest skyscrapers. Because the burning of fossil fuels was not reduced, this significantly increased the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere which made global warming considerably worse, hence the rise in sea levels. The average temperature is undeniably higher than ever before which did not top temperatures in the 90 degrees fahrenheit back in the day. Although many years ago people tried to reduce the use of fossil fuels, it was never completely abolished so today we have had these devastating effects on our planet. Life is definitely much different and quite frankly will never be the same.
