Bye-bye glaciers
Glaciers and ice sheets are melting. And they are melting fast. Between 1993 and 2019, Greenland lost an average of 279 billion tons of ice per year. Whilst Antarctica lost 148 billion tons per year."Experiment show Greenland lost an average of 279 billion tons of ice per year between 1993 and 2019, while Antarctica lost about 148 billion tons of ice per year."

Check out how polar bears are in danger
The poor polar bears
Polar bears heavily depend on ice sheets and glaciers. This not only affects polar bears, but the polar bears' pray as well, such as seals. Seals also depend on ice sheets and glaciers to raise their babies."The Arctic is warming about twice as fast as the global average, causing the ice that polar bears depend on to melt away. Loss of sea ice also threatens the bear's main prey, seals, which need the ice to raise their young." (WWF)

Forest fires can happen for many reasons. Some being extreme dry weather or a drought caused by climate change. It is without a doubt that forest fires impacts not only us and our living space, but other animals' habitats.
Check out how pollution is terrible
Pollution
Greenhouse gas emissions blanket the Earth, and help trap the sun's heat. Making the global temperature increase and overall causing a huge portion of sea levels raising, melting ice, causing troubles for the polar bears and much more. 2/3s of the gases released in the air is CO2.
Check out how deforestation affects our “blanket“
Deforestation 🪚🌳
Deforestation not only puts us in danger of not having enough trees. But it also is contributor to released CO2 in the air. When trees are cut down, whether they are rotting or being burned, they emit CO2 gas into the air, causing an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide.

How is this affecting us
It affects us in every way possible. The rising sea levels can cause others to move, but some without lots of money are in trouble as they cant just pick up and move somewhere else. The increasing temperatures of seasons can cause physical wellbeing issues, causing more intense and longer seasonal depression and more.
