According to a NASA scientist, by the time that we get to the next century, it is estimated that the polar temperature could be as much as 20-25 degrees Fahrenheit on average higher than it is today. Water will disintegrate from polar ice caps into the oceans, raising water temperatures and releasing more water into the atmosphere. More water in the atmosphere will lead to greater storms, such as Hurricane Sandy.
El

teeth, use less plastic water bottles, use less paper, do not litter, recycle,
use environmentally friendly cleaning products, donate used items instead of
getting rid of them, use less public transportation, etc.
