Surviving Through Generations??: Sumit Kaushik Siddarth Singh Yashish Kumar Satyam Kumar

Uploaded by

Sumit Kaushik

The document discusses major threats to surviving through generations including ozone layer depletion and melting ice. Ozone layer depletion near Antarctica has been observed since 1970 and absorbs harmful UV radiation. Hidden melting in Antarctica is doubling every 20 years due to global warming melting ice shelves and the melting rate has tripled in recent years. Six glaciers in West Antarctica are in irreversible decline as temperatures rise globally and they are at risk of collapse within 100 years, turning Antarctica into a waterworld.

Ozone Layer Depletion
• Why Ozone Deplete near the Antarctica???

• Absorbs biologically harmful ultraviolet (UV)


radiation.

• Has been observed since 1970.


Melting Of Ice
• Hidden underwater melt-off in
the Antarctic is doubling every 20 years

• Global Warming melting Antarctic ice shelves

• Melting rate ice has tripled in recent years


West Antarctic Glaciers in
Irreversible Decline
• Temperatures around the world have
ratcheted upward
• Six glaciers hang in a precarious balance
• Supported by land, and partially floating in
waters just offshore
Conclusion
• "We've passed the point of no return”

• Glaciers will be history within a 100 years

• Antarctica (the waterworld)
