As global temperatures rise, more rain
falls in various parts of the world. These waters - combined
with the run-off from melting glaciers - spill into the
oceans, changing the nature of currents like the Gulf
Stream.
As a result, North America and Europe become cooler. If
this scenario seems like a clip from 'The Day After Tomorrow',
Hollywood's latest blockbuster, then you should be 'tuning
in' to IPS on World Environment Day (June 5). The theme
for this U.N.-sponsored day is 'Wanted! Seas and Oceans
- Dead or Alive?' Read all about the environmental issues
that affect your life - on IPS. |
