The colossal power of nature: flood, disaster, storms, rising sea levels. Climate change is changing the image of our planet. Fads weather are no longer something unusual, it becomes the norm. The ice on the planet is melting and it changes everything. The seas rise, the city could be flooded and millions of people could die. None of the coastal area can not run away from the terrible consequences.

Global warming, we constantly hear the expression, but for the familiar words is a frightening reality. Our planet is warming and this has a catastrophic effect on the ice caps of the earth. The temperature rises, the ice begins to melt, the sea begins to rise. Throughout the world ocean level rises by 2 times faster than a 150 years ago. In 2005, 315 cubic kilometers of ice from Greenland and Antarctica melted into the sea, for comparison, in Moscow in the year using 6 cubic miles of water - is a global melting. In 2001, scientists predicted that by the end of the century, sea levels will rise by 0.9 meters. This increase in water level enough that would affect more than 100 million people around the world, but now many experts fear that their forecasts can be wrong. Even by conservative estimates it is projected that within the next 60 years, rising sea levels will destroy a quarter of all homes located in 150 meters from the coast. Recent studies paint a more disturbing picture. By the end of the century, sea levels could rise by as much as 6 meters and all this can happen to all of us because of melting.

To understand what happens when the ice melts, the scientists need to study the processes that cause melting. Today’s advanced technology can open up the ancient history of our planet, studying the changes that have occurred in the past and they hope to predict our future.
