Connection of Climate change and environmental issues.
Global and regional climatic patterns are significantly changing where it is attributed to, the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced is increasing through fossil fuels from the mid to the late 20th century.

Environmental issues cause climate change by more heat that alters ices, oceans and weather, and severity of hurricanes.
Climate change has led to the melting of ice fields ad glaciers in the arctic. Despite the rapid increase in temperatures that have led to the significant melting of the ice burgs and graces, human activities and morals are the significant roots that had led to the increased melting. The industrial revolution, greenhouse gas emissions, and carbon dioxide are the significant factors that have led to a rapid increase in temperatures with even higher poles. The rapid melting of glaciers calves off into the seas, hence, retreating land. It's predicted that if the iceberg continues to melt, then the arctic will be ice-free in the future. When ice and glaciers melt, the sea levels rise, leading to increased coasta...
