    The document discusses how global warming is affecting glaciers through climate change. It notes that the industrial revolution beginning in 1760 and increased human activity have led to a 40% rise in carbon dioxide emissions from the use of coal and petroleum. This is one of the main causes of glacier reduction over the past century. The discovery of a 5,000 year old iceman preserved in a glacier shows that climate change is occurring much more rapidly now than in the past 5,000 years.

    The Meltdown

    By: Henrique and Anda P1


    (Ex Pr and current PR)

    Objective:

    How world temperatures


    have been changing in the
    past and how this change
    is affecting glaciers.

    Early 20th Century


    Industrial Revolution, 1760.
    Let alone this century, glaciers have
    drastically been affected.
    The starting use of transportation and
    industrial results, like carbon dioxide is a
    major factor.

    Global Warming caused by?


    Having the Industrial Revolution proved to us human
    beings that technology is possible but it came with its
    price.
    With technology, human activity has increased by 40%
    The use of coal and petroleum is one of the main
    causes for glacier reduction.
    Without knowing what these natural resources can do
    to the environment around us, we aren't aware of the

    The Ice man


    During the year 1991, a 5,000 year old Iceman was
    found inside a glacier.
    This may be an astonishing discovery, but it proves
    to us that within 5,000 years our climate change is
    changing rapidly.
