Sea Level

In the video about Maldives, the president is very concerned about ongoing climate change. Not only what will happen to his people, but the entire island as well. The theory of global warming causes other climate changes such as sea level. President Mohamed Nasheed believes that global warming and raising sea levels  will untimately cause the end of his people and island. Global warming heats the earth to high temperatures, thus melting ice and glaciers in the artic. Therefore, more water is flowing into the oceans, raising sea levels. These sea levels change the climate and area of the island. Soon, the island could be completely under water, leaving the people of the island with no where to go. As far as the president having so much concern, I believe he should not. I do not believe in the theory of global warming and I don't think the sea level is actually rising. In the second video about the ocean, many more concerns were presented. Global warming was again another factor. The oceans are heating to higher temperatures and melting ice and glaciers. With temperatures at a higher degrees, aquatic life becomes endangered and can soon become extinct.
