Global Warming and Collective Actions 

Some people have many speculations and may not believe that global warming exists. Contrary to those beliefs, Global temperatures have been rising for over a century. According to NASA, it has increased around 2.2 degrees fahrenheit since 1880. That may not sound like a lot but it has been enough to cause irreversible damage such as  melting ice caps in Antarctica that have been melting at a steady rate of 150 billion tons per year. The melting of the ice caps has greatly affected the rising in global sea levels. It has had a huge impact on our ecosystems. It alters the ecosystem productivity, exacerbating the spread of invasive species that has affected habitats because of the loss in biodiversity. Due to the many living things struggling to adapt to their new environment, some have had to face extensions like the bramble cay melomys that look like a mouse and the golden toad from Costa rica. Others like the green sea turtle and coral are the most rapidly declining species at the moment according to Ifaw.org. Global warming is known to cause natural disasters  such as hurricanes and droughts, residents of California understand as they are notorious for their major wildfires and droughts. These impacts indicate a decline in the health and stability of our ecosystems due to the consequences of global warming.
