Over the past ten years, the average surface temperature of earth has risen five degrees. Even though five degrees doesn't seem like a major change, it has caused a disruption in the Earth's fragile ecosystem (Watson 3). This increase has caused the melting of the polar ice caps and glaciers, which has caused the sea level to rise by a reported inch and a half so far...
