Understanding Global Warming: Ice Caps, Rising Sea Levels, and Local Weather Changes

This reflection explores the significant impacts of global warming, focusing on the relationship between melting ice caps and rising sea levels. Through a case study of Salt Lake City's weather patterns over 40 years, we observe a gradual increase in average temperatures, particularly in summer months. The document also highlights increasing occurrences of droughts, wildfires, and tornadoes in the U.S., emphasizing the role of gaseous pollutants in these phenomena. This comprehensive analysis aims to raise awareness about the critical state of our planet's climate.
