For many years now scientists have discovered the changes in the amount of icebergs’ significantly melting quicker each year. The loss of ice is continuing to increase and studies has reported that this summer the Arctic Sea is a prime example of climate change. The dramatic changes in the oceans are only one aspect of global warming. After this summer, scientists have reported that this year was the second highest summer of ice loss. Over 40 – 50 percent of the icebergs’ thickness decreased. At the end of each summer, scientists monitor levels of ice loss around our global and just over a week ago the results shocked many. Even though scientists have been monitoring the levels of ice loss since the early 1980’s, no one really have considered to scare people of the damage we are causing. Not only are the icebergs melting, but also so many other great landmarks are changing due to the climate change.

Global warming is damaging some of the most amazing natural sights in the world. One being the Amazon and the animals who call the Amazon home. Many of the coral reefs around the world are starting to be band from people sighting seeing. Even forests across the world are facing water shortages. A huge water shortage is happening in China; the Yangtze River. Where tones of wild salmon are dying everyday. Yet, what is really horrible is not only global warming impacting our earth, but also the people. Many people around the world are feeling the pressure of the climate change. Africa is the number one at the moment, is that is living through some of the most natural changing ever experienced. The drought is killing thousands daily and only one cause is the source of this.

Many people are trying to take action to stop the climate change and the pressure is on to take meaningful steps to protect us, and the natural wonders of the world. Many people study this type of field from online masters degree programs (often through biomedical engineering schools). Although, really only a very small-scale of the number of people around the world are making changes. The thought of not be able to see a wonder of the world because of the climate change is sad. We should not be running to race against climate change.

Victoria Falls

As our planet is getting warmer many Africans are getting worried that the Zambezi river that runs to the falls will soon dry up. Now not only will the falls become less magnificent, but also the surrounding forest. Since the mist of the falls is what keeps the forest around it so stunningly green. So if you want to see the spectacular Victoria Falls I would keep it on the top of your travel list.

Mount Kilimanjaro

I have always wanted to climb this mountain, but now I think I should hurry along and do so. Since nearly 80 percent of the ice fields that make up the most dazzling view in Africa are quickly disappearing. Many scientists calculate that by the time this decade is over there will be no snow left on the mountain.

Venice

I am among the lucky backpackers to already have the chance to experience the beautiful lagoon city. For those who have not been yet and know that the city is sinking, well I would hurry to see this city if I were you. The only reason why this city is sinking is because of global warming once again. The sea level is increasing dramatically and within the next 20 years, about seven feet of water will be covering St. Marks Square and not to mention many beautiful buildings will be ruined.

When I saw Venice back in 2005, already 70 percent of the residents of the city have moved inland. Only those who own shops for tourist gifts, still live within the city.

Pyramid of Giza

One of the most popular tourist attractions in the world has been decaying over the years, but many people thought is was only due to the climate change, well that is true, but also another factor is a the main problem. This wonder of the world has been the worst kept attraction for across the world. The local management has not been so careful to protect such an amazing site. So I would hurry to see this wonder of the world, before the pyramid becomes unbearable to experience due to the conditions.

These are just a few places in the world that are being attacked by global warming, but there are still many sites in the world that are disappearing too, such as the Great Barrier Reef, Everglades, and the Maldives.
