Future Impacts of the Climate

Temperature

Melting

Animals

According to previous studies we believe that the temperatures should rise.
A hurricane is more likely to occur; we think this because in other places the number of hurricanes has been increasing over time.
The earth’s climate could change must faster than expected due to green house gasses.

Permafrost will melt which will create sink holes and shift the foundation of buildings and other structures.
Ice sheets will melt so then the water will increase in temperature and the water level will rise.
We think that Churchill, Manitoba will lose land due to the water level rising.
Higher risk of flooding because of the ice melting in the large bodies of water.
We think the amount of rain will become larger than the amount of snowfall since the temperature is rising.

We do not think polar bears will be able to reach their food as we think the temperature will increase.
Habitats will change due to melting.
We think there will be a change in the animal populations since we believe that many species will die because they will be unable to hunt for their prey.
We predict that certain species from Churchill, Manitoba will migrate towards other places where there is a colder atmosphere, such as polar bears.
