Yes, if global warming carries on, the earth will get warmer and warmer and the icecaps will completely disappear. This will mean rises in sea levels that will damage many low lying countries. At present ice reflects a lot of heat from the sun (this is called the albedo effect). If there is no ice, then the oceans and the land absorb more heat, warming up even more.
What else can I help you with?
How is global warming destroying your icecaps?
Global Warming is the gradual raising of the overall average temperature of the Earth. This seemingly small amount can equate to large effects to the icecaps, melting them. This can cause ocean levels rising.
Are icecaps liquid?
no they are ice, bur due to global warming are melting fast
Where on earth is there evidence Global Warming?
At the poles we see that the icecaps seen to be melting.
What do glaciers and global warming have in common?
Global warming is causing the glaciers to disappear. This is how they are connected.
Which is global warming a bigger threat than desertification?
Global Warming because if the earth gets to warm the icecaps will melt and then we would lose most of our fresh water supply.
What problem will occur if global warming causes polar icecaps to melt?
the animals will die and animals will lose food and other animals will die
How are floods affected by global warming?
Floods will become more frequent especially around the colder places where there is a lot of ice. Global Warming is melting the Icecaps around the world which is causing the sea level to rise.
What will global warming do animals?
melts the polar icecaps and could cause climate change which could make many animals extinct around the world
How will the Antarctic be affected by global warming?
It will be. as the temperature's rise and the ice cap will shrink and eventually disappear
If earth has warmed and cooled throughout history what makes scientists think that humans are causing global warming now?
It is because the polar icecaps are melting. Also because we are using too much energy.
What will happen if forests will disappear. Relate it to global warming?
That depends upon where they disappear to. If they are used in construction, the carbon contained in those forests will still remain sequestered. More likely, however, the forests will burn down, as our climate changes. This will release the carbon they contain into the atmosphere, accelerating the rate of global warming.
What will the glaciers do to the sea level rising?
As the glaciers and icecaps melt they will make the oceans rise and it's all because of global warming. Sea ice is in the water already so its melting will not affect sea levels.
