Global warming increases precipitation, causing floods, while soils lose moisture faster, causing droughts and hurricanes. When the glaciers disappear, the earth will eventually get hotter, the lakes will become smaller, the beautiful scenery will disappear, 40% of the people live on the fresh water from the melting glaciers, and animals such as polar bears living in the ice and snow have no habitat. 1,000 species disappear every day, far exceeding the rate of natural destruction. Glaciers melt, water levels rise, flooding coastal cities, shrinking land areas, and exacerbating population problems.
