__**BIBLIOGRAPHY**__:

1) CITATION: Andrew C. Revkin. “Arctic Melt Unnerves the Experts”. New York Times. May 12, 2008.  This article proves that people are taking serious action against the ice melting. Because it shows that not only are animal activists helping our environment but other people really care and really want to help our environment. -this article explains what the definition of global warming is because in order to understand how and why the water levels are increasing you have to understand what global warming is -global warming is = to green house gases, the release of gases like Carbon Dioxide, etc. which comes from lack of recycling and lots of human waste (like un- recycled garbage) placed into our Earth which is affecting all of the animals around us

Berkeley Carroll School. 30 Apr. 2008 <[|http://go.galegroup.com/ps/start.do?p=GVRL&u=nysl_me_bcschl>.] -this article= explains climate change and global warming affecting our environment

4) CITATION: No Author. "Floods leave 4,500 families homeless in Sri Lanka." . - Information about how because of water levels in Sri Lanka increased so much that so many families are now living in poverty

5) CITATION: "Glacier." Encyclopædia Britannica. 2008. Encyclopædia Britannica Online School Edition. 30 Apr. 2008 <[|http://school.eb.com/eb/article-65674. >] “With global warming, the melting of mountain glaciers will certainly increase, although this process is limited: the total volume of small glaciers is equivalent to only about 0.6 metric (2 feet) of sea-level rise. Melting of the marginal areas of the Greenland Ice Sheet will likely occur under global warming conditions, and this will be accompanied by the drawing down of the inland ice and increased calving of icebergs; yet these effects may be counterbalanced to some extent by increased snow precipitation on the inland ice. The Antarctic Ice Sheet, on the other hand, may actually serve as a buffer to rising sea level: increased melting of the icebergs.” -the article above

-icebergs melting from a result of global warming is increasing the water levels (especially in Greenland and Antartica) -global warming is causing the water levels to rise because the Earth is getting warmer thus melting ice sheets and melting icebergs -this causes a horrible place to live for animals and destroys their natural habitat

6) CITATION: No author. “Global Warming”. May 12, 2008. New York Times. .] -this article really explains what we can do in order to help our environment and to help decrease the water levels by helping pollution in the cities

2) Antarctica= the ice sheets are melting so much because of global warming and all of the ice shelves are disoriented and animals’ habitats are ruined and there is so much flooding in that area “The Big Meltdown” Woodard, C. [Collapse of Antarctica's Larsen-B ice shelf]. E: the Environmental Magazine v. 16 no. 2 (March/April 2005) p. 19-20, 22 <[|http://vnweb.hwwilsonweb.com/hww/results/getResults.jhtml?_DARGS=/hww/results/results_common.jhtml.17>.]

3) Also Scotland is being affected by the rising water levels because the ice shelf is being destroyed and ice shelves are a piece of landmass. Because the air levels (the temperature has increased) the ice is thinning and melting. No Author. “Ocean Waters Melt Ice Shelf?” Environment v. 46 no. 1 (January/February 2004) p. 8-9
